    3. Jeanette, Thomas and Mary Duggar Futch are buried in the Futch Cemetery in Cook County, Georgia. At the time of their deaths they lived in then Berrien County. The cemetery is one very well kept and is located on current Futch property. Most of the Futch markers in the cemetery are of beautiful white marble. The perimeter of the cemetery is surrounded with a nice white vinyl fence. There is not a problem in getting to the cemetery....it is appreciated by the landowner(s) if you called first before driving back onto their property. As one would expect, Thomas' tall flat marker is very old; made from concrete. At one time, it was painted with white paint, which now is chipping off. The old inscription is fairly readable but it does take a little time to figure out. Last year whenever we visited the cemetery, there had been a new marble marker placed directly in front of the old. Mary's marker is white, easy to read but hard to photograph in the early sun...without adding a little chalk, engraving doesn't show up in photo. The dates on Thomas and Mary's markers are as follows: Thomas Futch Born March 7, 1799 Died June 22, 1869 Mary Wife of Thomas Futch January 22, 1799 January 6, 1882 The marriage date I have is July 24, 1816 and in Chatham County, Georgia. The source is from Huxford and agreed he has had mistakes (as in all gen publications) but I'll keep this until otherwise informed of another source. I too, have seen the other date/discrepancy you mentioned. Hope this helps a little or perhaps helps someone else on the list.
