    3. The construction of the dams that created Lake Norman and Mountain Island Lake resulted in much land along the Catawba River being covered with water. Does anyone know whether surveys or resources exist which might describe cemeteries that were relocated or stones that were relocated? I've heard a story of old tombstones being found under the front porch of a home along the river - having been moved there when the waters began to rise. I have heard talk of an Abernethy family cemetery that was in the basin created by one of the lakes. Donna J.
