There are no Danforths at all. Gee, we are batting a thousand this evening! By the way, I would be more than happy to do look ups for y'all in this book. It does not include every cemetery. Bellevue is missing. The author said Bellevue would not let her come in and index the cemetery. The name of the book is "Cemetery Records of Columbia County, Georgia" by Marjorie Abbott Braswell. Published in 1998 by the author. Here are the cemteries covered...

Michele, I've been looking for years, for the graves of John EADES (d. ca. 1801 in either Columbia or Richmond Co.) and his wife (name unknown) and those of William FEE (1731-1807, Columbia) and Margaret FEE (1741-1806, Richmond). At your convenience, could you check your book? Thanks so much, Anne C. ----- Original Message ----- > > The name of the book is "Cemetery Records of Columbia County, Georgia" by > Marjorie Abbott Braswell.

Mrs. Braswell's book is an excellent upgrade on research in Columbia County cemeteries and Michelle Lewis is providing a noteworthy service by generously providing so many lookups. Those of you interested in Columbia County burials should not overlook the old cemeteries at Ft. Gordon. There are more than 40 of them and the list of identified interments runs to almost 500 names. Many of the family names being asked for from Michelle also appear in these Ft. Gordon cemeteries. For example, there are 11 Blackstons and 16 Blackstones on the list, 34 Whitakers and 7 Wrens. Some parts of the fort that lie in Richmond County are contiguous to the Columbia County boundary and there is no doubt the families crossed back and forth frequently. This was the area formerly called Pinetucky. I have a copy of the interment list and have visited some of the cemeteries, but I do not have the names of all the cemeteries. The army has assigned them numbers, e.g., Linwood Cemetery is Cemetery #30, and the interment list is alphabetical and by cemetery number. Also, for the lady researching Magruders, please be aware there was a branch of the family that moved to Canton, Mississippi, in the 1840s. The most recent scion of that branch was Brig. Gen. Lawson Magruder who commanded troops of the U.S. 10th division in Somalia in the early 1990s and may still be on active duty. Russell
