Sandra, #42 - LIBERTY HILL CEMETERY Liberty Hill Cemetery: From Geneva, GA go west on Hwy 80 for 6.4 miles, turn right [north] and go 0.2 mile, take left [west] and go 0.5 mile to cemetery on left of road. Recorded by Morgan 6 Sept 1971. [Note that, where the Hut Road cuts off, a portion of the Macon Road called "Old Macon Road" deviates from the current course of Highway 22, so there may be an additional turn involved to stay on the Macon Road as it ran back in 1971 when these directions were written. - jml] The above is posted with a listing of burials at the cemetery. Note that the listing probably only includes graves marked at the time of the survey. The eight listed graves include the following surnames: HAGERMAN, JAMES, McNEEL, NICHOLSON, RENFROE, TURNER, and WEBB. Death dates for the graves listed span 1847 to 1899. The fact that not one of these surnames matches any on the list of member families in the write-up you quoted makes me wonder if this cemetery has been properly identified. The address is: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/talbot/cemeteries/liberty.txt Does anyone have further information?
