Is John B. McCollum (1822-1891) on your list? He is buried in Providence Cemetery, Alpharetta, GA. Was in Cherokee Co, then Milton, now Fulton. John has a magnificant marble marker. I'll be glad to send you a photo if he is one of the McCollums you are researching. > [Original Message] > From: Wally McCollum <mccollumw@comcast.net> > To: <GACHEROK-L@rootsweb.com> > Date: 1/28/2006 7:51:14 AM > Subject: Re: [GACHEROK-L] I can verify Cemeteries, Take Photos, Etc. for you > > I've got the Shirley Morris cemetery book which is a survey of all of > the Cherokee County cemeteries as of about 1997.
