Hi, I'm new to a new list, of course, and am looking for the place in Columbia County where possible family members of Readding BLOUNT may be buried. It was said to be the oldest cemetery in Columbia County, Lake City and located on the Suwanee River, according to family papers. I live close to this area and can't find it. Info on this family is below. Any help appreciated to find this cemetery or any related information on these people. Thanks, Fannie =================================================== John & Martha (Lewis)Blount of Beaufort Co., NC., supposedly had a son named JACOB. Jacob moved with his brother, Churchill Blount, to the Beaufort District of S.C., and thus that JOHN BLOUNT, father of Jacob & Churchill Caldom Blount, was the progenitor of the family in Florida.
