Paul, The burials at New Salem Baptist Church in Spalding County are listed on Find A Grave. The link to the page is here on my Spalding County site: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gaspald2/cemeteries/cemeteries.htm Linda B.

Linda, Thanks so much. I went to the USGenweb Spaldng site, but they didn't have this cemetery listed. I'm delighted to find that you have a site on Ancestry-Rootsweb.com, which somehow had escaped my knowing. I immediately found one cousin on the New Salem Find-a-grave site, and plan to check out the other Reeves buried there as well to see if we're related. Regretfully, none of my direct ancestral line seem to be buried there, though, assuming the inventory of marked graves is complete.
