GREEN BETHEL CHURCH CEMETERY Boiling Springs, Cleveland County, NC By W. D. Floyd This cemetery is an African-American cemetery located in the north end of Boiling Springs, NC. It is just off North Main St. On a street to the east just before you get to the Ingles Supermarket. I did the inventory May 21, 1998 and I started it on the east end of the cemetery. There are many unmarked graves and many marked with field stones and concrete blocks. Dover, Carolyn Byers October 11, 1954 December 23, 1977

RUTHERFORD COUNTY, NC DEED INDEX GRANTOR-GRANTEE 1779-1917 By W. D. Floyd The way this is laid out is as follows: From the left margin to the first slash mark is the Grantors Name, first slash mark to the second slash mark is the Grantees Name, second slash mark to the third slash mark is the type instrument,(Deed, Mtg, Power of Attorney, etc.), third slash mark to the fourth slash mark is the Book the Deed is in, fourth slash mark to the fifth slash mark is the Page/Pages the Deed is on, and fifth slash mark to the end is the year the Deed was filed. I started this February 23, 1998 and it is taken directly from the Deed Index Books of Rutherford County, NC. I am sure that it will take quite a while to complete the whole thing. If you get some use out of this endeavor please let me know about it. This work will be done only when it is not feasible to work on the cemeteries.

Floyd This cemetery is located About two to three miles south of Spindale, NC on Oakland Road or what is right now the US221 Truck Route. It will be no trouble to find. I started this inventory October 21, 1997 and I will have it listed by Sections or Gardens as the case may be so that you will at least know what section your grave is in. Sunset Memorial Cemetery, Rutherford County, North Carolina Dover, Ralph William March 6, 1949 September 12, 1971

If I remember the N.C. geography and counties correctly, which is a long shot:-) Rutherford County is down around Hamlet, and Rochingham, N.C. This is not that far from the coast of N.C. Might be wrong. Also this is a black cemetery. Sharon Dover Romanek Doggett Grove Cemetery (African-American), Rutherford County, North Carolina Dover, Mandy March 12, 1910 November 28, 1995

I think this might be a new one. Don't remember these names. I included the connecting family names. Sharon Dover Romanek ELIZABETH BAPTIST CEMETERY Shelby, Cleveland County, NC By W. D.

Floyd Traveling east on Highway US 74 turn of the US 74 and Moss Lake exit and go east on US 74 Business to the second road to the right. This will be El Bethel Ch. Rd.. The cemetery will be a quarter of a mile or so on the right. I started this inventory in the southeast corner of the cemetery November 30, 1998. There are a few unmarked graves in this cemetery. There has been some small markers placed for some that is getting in bad shape but there has also been some errors made on some of them. I didn’ t notice this until I was way on into the audit. I checked a couple of them and where the date of death was given first and then their age in years, months, and days the new marker had the date of birth the same as the death date on the old marker and then the amount of years, etc had been added for the date of death on the new marker making both dates wrong. I don’t know how many of them are wrong because I just couldn’t go back over the whole cemetery. Just keep this in mind if a date doesn’t seem right.

In the previous message, I should have included Alabama for the states I have done the search for the Dover surname in. Sharon Dover Romanek

I gave some incorrect information lastnight about all the post I have been making. They are not from rootsweb. They are from Genweb. I will include the link for those of you who may have other names you would like to research. This is a neat way to search. All you do it pick the state, type in the name and it picks up all the hits from that state for that surname. I have done all the Dovers in Fla., Ga., and Tenn.
