I was told at the Troup County Library that the cemetery is completely overgrown and almost impossible to get to. I live 3 hours away and have limited time but hope to find it one day. The Library has wonderful collection of material from Mrs. Roland Shaefer Heard, Mrs. Charles Mellard Jamison and Mrs. Julius C. Moore, descendants of Henry and Susan Heard Boyd. The Janie Lovelace Heard papers are a treasure. CEMETERY INFORMATION Long Cane Troup County Georgia USA Cemetery notes and/or description: "Family, Church and Community Cemeteries of Troup County, Georgia", edited by McClendon, Lambert and Knight, pages 22 & 23: Henry Boyd Cemetery. This cemetery is located in Land Lot 295 of land District 5. The graves there are unmarked. Anyone interested in this family should consult the following: "Pine Log and Greek Revival", by William H. Davidson, which contains photographs of the Boyd Home; the Janie Lovelace Heard papers at the Troup County Archives, which contain information on the Boyd and Heard families complete with immigrant ancestors; and "The Boyds of Boyds Tank", which details the early history of the Boyd family. As noted at Find a Grave.com the following are listed as buried there Henry Boyd b mar 20, 1797 d. Apr 17, 1848 John Lee "Jack" Boyd. b. Apr. 7, 1838 d.Feb 24, 1904 Nancy C. "Nannie" Boyd. b Jul 23, 1833 d. Apr. 5, 1887 Susan Heard Boyd (wife of Henry) b May1, 1800 d. Oct 7, 1863

Perhaps this might be a project that our Georgian cousins might like to discuss to see if a group can gather to make it not "overgrown". I am not too sure when your next long weekend might be or if it would be best to wait until after winter.

Has someone got an actual street address for this? The only reference to Long Cane that I was able to find was Long Cane Elementary and Old Long Cane Rd. It's about 30 minutes from my house. I'm more than willing to run up there, but I need an address :( -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Boyd Sent: Friday, November 22, 2013 9:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BOYD] Boyd family cemetery at Long Cane, Troup County, GA Perhaps this might be a project that our Georgian cousins might like to discuss to see if a group can gather to make it not "overgrown".
