That's a good story, but I remember you could get shot stealing from another man's smoke house. The topo map shows Nancy Braswell property totaling 160 acres (in Sections 23 W1/2 SW and 26 N1/2 NW to the south) as about 3/4 miles due west of Cisco close to Duncan Gap on CR 608. Braswell Spring is about a mile east by SE of Cisco in the north eastern part of Section 25 just south of CR 601. The topo shows Burris Cemetery exactly where findagrave says it is and about 1/4 mi south by SW of Braswell Spring in the eastern part of Section 25. You can zoom into all this at http://www.digital-topo-maps.com/. So as you can tell these two places are about 1.5 to 2 mi apart. WD Snow's father Samuel A. Snow (Patented 1901) had 80 acres in Section 26 (E1/2 SE) about 0.5 to a mile south of Cisco. The topo map does not show the Duncan Cemetery in any of those sections around Cisco.

The prank is on page 9, but a lot of this issue does mention the Snow family as well as my various lines. Hope to hear from Janice soon.

Hi Phillip, The section 23 and 26 thing (and I included section 14 since James "Jim" Leach is buried in Duncan Cemetery and next door to Hiram Duncan in the 1880 after whom the cemetery is named) is exactly how I mapped it last night. Sounds like we both came to the same conclusion. It's right around there within a couple of miles. I'll wait to here from Jan and see if she has any driving directions. I really don't want to send a volunteer on a wild goose chase. I also saw that on the CCHS Web page that there's a correction at the bottom of the Duncan Cemetery by a visitor. I've emailed Fleta to see is she has any memory at all when that correction was submitted or by whom. Cheri
