    1. Vance Cem, Jones Chapel Cem. & my Cullman Co families
    2. I found the following in Cullman County Churches and Cemeteries: Vance Cemetery - Lewis, Jane, June 21, 1856 - May 25, 1921, w/o J.C.; Lewis, J. C., June 3, 1854 - June 8, 1924; Young, Mary E. (Lewis), Jan 8, 1882 - Feb. 22, 1922; only other surnames in cemetery are Vance, Cook, Hopper and Williams - any of these related to Lewis and Young there? Jones Chapel Cemetery - Allen, Bell Zora, Nov. 3, 1884 - Jan. 29, 1961; Lovell, Elijah, March 4, 1833 - July 10, 1895; Lovell, Etter, w/o J.R., July 6, 1895 - June 5, 1925; Lovell, Lonie W., June 14, 1897 - Sept. 11, 1900; Lovell, Mary A. w/o E., Sept. 28, 1833 - March 25, 1899; Lovell, Texana V., d/o E. and M. A., April 2, 1866 - April 13, 1902; Lovell, W. M., Aug. 20, 1851 - Dec. 13, 1895; Lovell, William Isaac, Dec. 15, 1875 - Aug. 7, 1902; Young, D. H., March 13, 1814 - March 7, 1878; Young, Mary E., Nov. 16, 1864 - Dec. 20, 1905; Young, W. M., s/o W.W., no dates Lewis, Jane is Mary Jane Lovell Lewis Lewis, J. C. is her husband, James Clark Lewis Young, Mary E. (Lewis) is their daughter, the wife of Adolphus Ervin Young, my great-grandfather. Are the other families in Vance Cemetery related to my family? Lovell, Elijah is Elijah Lovell Lovell, Mary A. is his wife, Mary Ann (Davis?) Lovell. They are the parents of Mary Jane Lovell Lewis. I don't know who all the other Lovells are except maybe Texana V. Lovell. I don't recognize the other Youngs in Jones Chapel Cemetery. Adolphus Ervin Young's parents were Wesley Young (supposedly died during the Civil War of disease - place of burial not even known) and Elizabeth "Betsie" Jones (I don't know when she died or where she is buried.) According to the book, Jones Chapel United Methodist was founded around 1800 and some of the earliest families included Young and Jones. Are these my Young and Jones ancestors? My grandmother's name was Zora Bell Young Jernigan. I find it interesting to find a woman with a similar name is buried with my grandmother's family at Jones Chapel. I am wondering if maybe Bell Zora Allen may have been a relative as well. In the Winston County census of 1860 is the only record of Wesley Young and Elizabeth Jones. Nearby are families which appear to be neighbors. The patriarchs are men well into their middle ages - Daniel Young and Franklin Jones. Elizabeth Young appears with her children in later censuses. If any of this rings a bell with anyone, please let me know. Barry Jernigan Murfreesboro, TN
