I know where his (George Menefee)cemetary is. His is the only marked grave in the cemetary. I looks to have about 6 grave total. If interested, I will get you its location. If I am not mistaken, he started Collinsworth Methodis Church. In a small building behind his home near his burial location. The church was later moved east of his home and a fine building was erected. It is still there. s smith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Crilley" <varcsix@hot.rr.com> To: <GATALBOT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 2:59 PM Subject: [GATALBOT] Menefee > We don't have a listing for a Menefee Cemetery ---apparently (from the book > on GA Rev Sol) the cemetery is 1 mile from the Collinsworth Church.
