    3. Hi Dot, I just looked at a Screven Co. road map and couldn't quite match up the directions you give with what is represented on the map. I also looked at a Jenkins Co. road map to the West of Bay Branch and couldn't find a match to what you describe. However, if I reverse your directions along Millen Highway (GA 21) and head back towards Sylvania, then I find an unnamed cemetary (unnamed on the map) that -'sort of'- matches what you describe. Go a mile or so towards Sylvania and turn South on Indian Trail Rd. Turn onto Rocky Ford road and head West from Zeigler. Between Zeigler and and the big curve (the really big curve between Zeigler and Woodcliff) there is a cemetary lying on the North side of Rocky Ford Rd. Perhaps someone else on the list can name that cemetary. Also, there is another unnamed cemetary (unnamed on the map) just to the East of the junction of Bay Branch and Kettle Creek Rd. This is just North of the Bay Branch intersection with Millen Highway. Perhaps someone else on the list can name this second 'unnamed' cemetary that I see. There are also several other "named" cemetaries shown on the road map in the Bay Branch area. I'll pull out my topographic maps and try to locate a cemetary in the area of Bay Branch that isn't shown on the county road maps. A last resort for you would be to try identifying a lost cemetary from the county tax maps. This isn't so easy, since only larger sites appear as separate entities on the tax maps. But, it is a possibility. Dale E. Reddick ________________________________ K8888yle@aol.com wrote: > Hello All > > Thought I would try again. > > Can you help with the JOYNER BOLTON BRINSON CEMETERY?
