I would guess that the existing church building may not be the original building (the architecture is at least 1850s, the addition closest to the first graves visited looks even newer)
Very interesting video, living in Lehigh Valley for as long as I did, I drove by this church many times but never knew about the history there! Thanks for sharing!! 🙏
Please remember....Yes, one can be thankful today not to have the same concerns as colonial and early European-Americans had--like being attacked or scalped--but let's remember indigenous people were left with nothing to be thankful for time after time when they were repeatedly pushed off their land, subject to broken treaties, and killed wholesale. Example...Today, 12/29, is the 134th anniversary of Wounded Knee, S. Dakota--300 unarmed Lakota men, women, and children massacred by the U.S. Army. Soldiers were given medals of honor for what they did at Wounded Knee. Native people were also scalped (by white people). The French and Indian War (1754-1760) is replete with incidents of scalping by French, English and Native American combatants. Newspapers, diaries, journals, and other period sources all document these occurrences.
1:551:57 Wow My neighborhood. Next to my hometown (Catasauqua). That part is not considered Egypt. I'm not surprised that we're would be stories due to the fact there were lots of Indians who lived there. ( Like Catasauqua, a long the Lehigh River).
Hi, I'm enjoying these history videos. Learning about these people has been very interesting. Thank you for researching and showing the locations or areas where historical events took place. I read the info about John Jacob Mickley (settler) in Wikipedia. In case you were still trying to locate that memorial for the children: under the Gallery subheading are the photos of the markers, including the memorial that you were looking for. Tap on the memorial photo to open it. In Details, the location coordinates are hyperlinked and can be opened in a map. The street view shows that memorial on the side of a road: 4568 Scheidys Road. Hopefully that marker will be easy to locate. Thanks again for your hard work and videos. Rebecca

Latitude 40° 41' 14.63" N Longitude 75° 32' 59.65 W Those are the coordinates to the monument that mention the children. They were buried 1/2 mile from it. That's what the monument states from what I read. I'm sure you could find it with Google maps in case you wanted to do a follow-up on this video.

What is that truth? If you are implying that native people are unique in their brutality, you would be very wrong. They saw their people--men, women, and children--either killed outright, pushed off their land, or die from disease brought from Europe or starvation or both. Later Europeans gave them blankets infected with smallpox to put an end to them. Brutal as it seems looking back on individual incidents, native people reacted to what was done to them with equal brutality.
By murdering children?Did I say they were the only ones guilty of brutality?.....What is the truth? It's never right to kill the innocent.That's my point!
@@roberteshaw9520 No, it isn't ever right to kill children or innocent human beings of any age. What you didn't do is give any recognition to the fact that killing children was done by the Europeans who killed native children, so what else could one draw from such a comment? That is the point of my reply. The history of the U.S began by taking land from the people who were already here and had been here for thousands of years.
This was one event. To talk about an entire years long struggle is not the point.In a war the combatants are told not to kill children.I ll use your own words.'No, it i''snt ever right to kill children or innocent human beings of any age..........I thank you for making my point.I rest my case. I enjoyed the discussion....be well,
I live within 3 miles of there, and had I known you were coming, I could have shown you older graves-you were right by the Police, local Government, and the Whitehall Library, which could have helped you out finding stuff!

Great video. I love the stories of the Indian wars and cemeterys. Maybe go back when its warmer and look for the monument. Be safe❤❤❤❤
You should do a video on Renfrew in Waynesboro PA. Always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Interesting history. Thanks!

I love the bells.
Instrumental in saving the bell.....I see what you did there.

Interesting
sheesh how long do those bells toll?! they're all out of tune it's sorta creepy
I was getting tired of them as well...
What's this event say about these individuals who did this to these children? Indeed let the truth be told!
The murderers were Native Americans.
