Elias Sanders b abt 1775 was buried under his kitchen and I've been told it was because he didn't want to get wet, the kitchen was appartently elevated above a sloping area in the back of the house, my relatives tell me you can still see the stones there but of course there are no inscriptions. gale sanders ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Smith <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 19, 1999 10:20 AM Subject: Re: [GAFORSYT-L] SANDERS/CARTER lookups > My family has been in Elbert County Georgia since at least 1807/08 > when Elias SANDERS was given land.
