I just went on the USGS website, find a map, and used those coordinates which brought me up to the Green Forest map area. The coordinates show just below Broswell Springs and there is no drivable access to the area of the coordinates. I then downloaded a map of the area and Burris Cemetery is plainly marked and again this shows no ready access. I have a copy of the map if anyone wants it but it would have to be sent to a personal address as ALL query lists will not accept attachments. {{[email protected]}} WGB On Nov 4, 2009, at 7:44 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > Burris Cemetery GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 36.36530, Longitude: > -93.48080, if that helps. > This is according to www.findagrave.com.

Phillip, I think the Duncan Cemetery is in T20N R24W in or near sections 14 & 23, possibly 26. Will that help your cousin? I think Dallas Snow and my Duncan people did things together. I seem to remember reading an article in the CCHQ about one of them playing a trick on the other. It may be an issue from the 1970s or 1980s. I'll have to look for it. Cheri

Phillip, Found it! The Carroll County Historical Society Quarterly, Vol. XXII, Summer, 1977, No. 2. Page 2, column 2: Prior to 1900, Tom Duncan acquired the Braswell tracts. Following his death (Tom d. Oct 1900), John Duncan bought the lands from Tom's heirs, Andy and James Duncan. [NOTE: A James Duncan had a land patent in T20N R24W in section 23 in 1860). It continues: He [John Duncan] sought to purchase the Braswell lands so he went to his brother-in-law, Ike Brammer, who lived on what is now (1977?) the MItchell place, earlier know as the Charlie Snow farm, and they agreed that Ike ask the Tom Duncan heirs to price the land. [NOTE: Nancy Braswell had a land patent in T20N R24W in section 23 in 1890). It continues: In this tract was the original Sam Braswell home at Braswell Springs, which later he gave to his nephew, Nathan Heard and the place now known as the Dallas Snow farm he gave to his nephew Dallas Snow. Part of this story was from Mrs. Nathan Heard. I don't know her first name. She really had a lot of info on my family and their associates. Unfortunately, not all land records are online. I can only view the land patents from the BLM/GLO site. On page 9, column 1 is the story of the prank. It says that John Duncan and Joe Leach pulled a stunt on Dallas Snow and his first wife (Sadie Ramey) shortly after they were married (c. 1903-1904). John Duncan gave Dallas Snow some meat which Dallas put in the smokehouse. Then Joe Leach snuck in and took the meat. Dallas went to the smoke house and couldn't find the meat. Then Joe snuck back in and put it back. I can scan it and send it to your personal email if you like. Let me know if this helps your cousin place the Duncan cemetery. Cheri

That would be interesting to hear. If you have the issue and page of the CCHS Quarterly, the article can be ordered online. I have sent email to Janice Snow Jamison, who is WD Snow's granddaughter and Catherine Duncan Snow's gr granddaughter. Jan should be able to answer any questions on this.
