    1. [ARJACKSO] In search of McCoy Cemetery
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: lechein Surnames: McCoy Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.arkansas.counties.jackson/1593/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The following info is found on savinggraves.us.org regarding an abandoned McCoy cemetery. I would like to get some more specific directions (honestly, looking at a map this info listed doesn't make much sense) and I would like to contact the owner for permission prior to my making a drive from Memphis. The person listed as the contact on saving graves has not responded to my query and it has been over a month. Any information that can be provided is appreciated!
