I`m wondering if in all the cemetery looking that some of you do if you have found a grave for my gggrandfather Joel Nichols and his wife Sarah. Joel pastored many of the Baptist Churches in Coosa and Elmore Co. In fact, I think that he founded the Baptist church across from the Kelly Cemetery at Kelly Crossroads. He was the brother of Henry Nichols who is buried at the cemetery in Eclectic. My Joel died in April 1865 and left money in his will to buy a horse for his grandson, Josephus, whose father Jonathan had died (possibly in the Civil War). After Joel died Sarah, his wife, lived out the rest of her life with her daughter Mary Elizabeth Nichols who was the wife of my great-grandfather, Wingate Jackson. The Jacksons and the Nichols lived next door (according to the census records) near Santuck. I am also looking for the grave of Wingate Jackson and Mary Elizabeth Nichols Jackson. Any help any one of you can give will be greatly appreciated. Pauline (Polly) Jackson Clarke, Birmingham.

Hello O. Murphy, Thanks for the information, I didn't have it. I had her, and her husband, but not the cemetery. Thanks again. Anything else you find on the Sharbutts' or Bazemores', please let me know.
