    1. Re: [GALINCOL] dams on the savannah river and the graves it covered
    2. Hi Betty, I knew I was foggy but you jiggled my memory a bit in your letter. Thank you so much. I do now remember that not all grave sites were moved. I am positive that they wrote about the ones they did move in those books. I went to Lincoln County and McCormick in 1986 to see the area for myself. We went from Texas to N. Carolina and then through S. Carolina to Lincoln County, Ga. There were still old cabins still standing on the McCormick side at that time. They definitely looked old enough to have been Civil War or even Revolutionary era. It was an interesting trip. I have been studying the Revolution in VA, NC, SC, GA and near the Alabama line. I have many of my ancestors who either lived there or fought there. Mostly in the Southern Campaign. The records from that period are awesome and hold my interest. I think later generations were so busy moving and dealing with the new frontier they had no time to put down records for genealogy. Sherman's March to the Sea burning and pillaging also had a part in lost records. I hope we all can find what's left eventually and put it all together. Barbara
