I have sent this e-mail to James Edenfield to put on the cemetery page...Betty Subj: Fwd: Gilcrease/Smith/Love Cemetery Date: 03/06/2002 6:10:13 PM Eastern Standard Time From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Here is the information and thanks Betty. Pat Hurst I am e mailing all of you in hopes that one of you will be able to put this information into the Gadsden Co. Genealogy Website. My ancestors James Munroe and Frances Elizabeth Bradwell Smith. I went to Quincy and talked to Mr. Bill Crawford after going to the cemetery which you are listing as the Gilcrease Cemetery. I had found the information in "The Loves of Gadsden Co" that my ancestors were buried on the Edward Love Plantation called the Barclow Indian Agency later owned by Carl Spooner in 1941 and now Bill Crawford. James Munroe's brother John Gadsden Smith settled in Gadsden Co about 1822 having his Indian Agency on the plantation. I also saw the same tombstones that were listed on your website when I went there. However, from Mr. Bill Crawford I was able to get some old papers given to him when he bought the land where a Mrs. Clark gave information about the tombstones that were in the cemetery to an E.B.Shaw. There is no date on the handwritten sheet. Mr. Crawford told me that the cemetery had been vandalized before he got the property and that some renters had carried off some of the stones. I read somewhere in my grandmother's things (Mrs. John Love Fain) that my ancestors James Munroe and Frances Elizabeth were also buried there. However, from the information given to me those tombstones were not there at the time this information was gathered. Here it is and I hope you will list it somewhere for someone who is looking for their family can find it. If you want me to send you a copy of what I have I will gladly do it.
