Linda & Stewart, Thank ya'll so much for you help. I have been through Vinings several times & have always wondered where the cemetery Grandfather Hardy Pace & other family members are buried was located. I know where his old house is, well the rebuilt house, where he is said to have been shot by Sherman's troops (apparently he did not to take too kindly to Sherman's idea that his house should be used by Sherman & decided to greet them with a gun from what I read). Do either of ya'll know a good place to start researching the Pace family further in Cobb? Thank You, Again, Lena Linda Murray <lhmurray@bellsouth.net> wrote: AHA! So there ARE roads in that land lot after all, and it looks like at least one close to the cemetery. Thanks for the map site, Stewart. I am certain that with your help, Lena will have no trouble locating the Hardy family graves. Good job! Thanks again for your help.

Hit the + box at the top of the line until the map is zoomed all the way in. In the upper left of the map, there is a button that says "hybrid." Hit that and you will get a great visual of the cemetery's location. Vinings Cemetery, Cobb County, Georgia http://topozone.com/map.asp?lat=33.86583&lon=-84.47222 The coordinates for Google Maps are: 33° 51.95'N, 84° 28.33'W I wish you well in finding who you are looking for. - Stewart Linda Murray <lhmurray@bellsouth.net> wrote: Hugh Reed just reminded me that there are maps in Volume 2 of the Cobb cemetery books. I had totally forgotten, and apologize. I see now that the Pace cemetery appears not to be near any major roadways, at least there are none shown at all in land lot #910 on the map. The cemetery appears to be bounded on the east by Cumberland Parkway, on the north and west by the Seaboard System's railroad tracks (built around Vinings Mountain, perhaps?), and on the south by West Paces Ferry Road. Surely there's some sort of service road from either West Paces or Cumberland Parkway that could get you somewhere near the cemetery; otherwise, it looks like it might be quite a hike. Don't worry. Someone on the list probably knows exactly where it is and will be able to be of more help in giving you directions. In the meantime, many thanks to Hugh for the heads-up.

CEMETERY Located in Land Lot 910, District 17. Hardy Pace drew land in the Gold Land Lottery. He was awarded a 40 acre lot in Vinings which included Vinings Mt. He moved his family to the site in 1832. I've never been to the Hardy cemetery, but from the First Hundred Years book, I would assume that it's located on Vinings Mountain in Vinings, wherever that is. I don't see it on my copy of the Cobb County map, but goodness. This one is big and old and faded - printed, I see, in 1973. It's highly likely that I am just not able to see it. If you need birth and death dates from the Cemeteries book, let me know and I will be happy to post those. Good luck!
