Contributed notes:

The bodies of John Wrenshall, Sr his two wives Mary and Ann, his daughter Julia, Wife of Geo Boggs, his infant daughter Ann Matilda and his son in law, Woolman Gibson, were buried in the First Presbyterian Church Yard on 6th Ave, Pittsburgh, PA. But in 1903, the bodies were removed from the Wrenshall fault to Melrose Cemetery, Bridgeville, PA and the First Presbyterian Church was torn down and rebuilt where the Wrenshall vault had stood. Harry Oliver built a sky scraper (now occupied by McCreery's Store) on Wood Street, where the church had stood.

In Pgh, before moving to Melrose, they were all in the WRENSHALL Vault. I don't know if there was a similar vault at Melrose.
