US Lookup Requests / Re: Mt Moriah Cemetery Philadelphia Look Up Please

Hi dentony
Thanks for visiting the Mount Moriah website http://mountmoriah.info/ As you can see, it is a website maintained by contributions from people around the world. I would appreciate it if you, or anyone else, would consider joining the site and contributing new biographies, or adding to existing biographies, about persons interred in Mount Moriah. It sounds like your Distin's were contributors to the overall fabric of the city of Philadelphia, which increases the importance of the cemetery.
With regard to your inquiry, it looks like you have more work to do as I was able to find some information about your ancestors; and some of the info contributed by others to this thread appear correct (such as the relationship between Eleanor & Charles!).
One of the things to keep in mind is variation on spellings; initially I didn't find some of your ancestors until I tried some variations. Here they are; note that the date is the date of burial.
Regards,
John
