Pancoast
Pancoast
This is another town that appears to be nothing more than a name on a map now. It's on the border between Buena Vista and Hamilton, west of Weymouth. There's a Pancoast Lake and a Pancoast Mill Road that runs west from Pancaost to Buena.

This site says that Ambrose Pancoast (1791-1855) "took over the saw mill at the mill pond from Archibald Campbell. The railroad even initiated a stop called Pancoast at Pancoast Mill Road."

Recently a descendant of Ambrose Pancoast wrote me to inform me that "Their daughter Catherine Pancoast married David N. Clark".

Another descendant of his has written me, with this information:
Ambrose's daughter Elizabeth Pancoast married Phillip Emmel Mull . (Phillip Emmel Mull was a descendant of the Emmels of Emmelville - his mother Catherine Emmel Mull was the sister of the Phillip Emmel featured on the Emmelville page; Catherine is buried in Weymouth).

A bit more information may be found here.

Another researcher, Cindy, tells me 

I know there was a stop on one of the old rail lines named "Pancoast" (maybe the Seashore Line?)

Anyone know anything about that?
