Swedish ministers were brought over to "defend" their colonists. This entailed bringing in big, strong churchmen to beat down Quaker missionaries messing with their people.

That may possibly explain why part of my family original cemetary in Lancaster county was plowed over and crops grown on it.

Most likely. The parting of the ways when the Scanderhoovians abandoned Lancaster to the Quakers was most likely not at all sweet.

However, the old Lutheran churches in Elkton are owned by the Episcopals these days and maintained as historic sites.

In looking for Scanderhoovian Lutheran churches in America you have to look for the term "Evangelical" first.
