My opinion is that if someone is going to move the stone they should also move the remains. Bonnie, that would be "nice", but costs $$ (above $5K per grave, I'm guessing), so is sometimes avoided for the $$ reason, as families never want to bear this burden. Your story makes the point there is a second reason for tombstones; and that is not only to mark the final resting place of the earthly remains; but also to convey the vital data on the stone to following generations. IMHO, the second reason is the important one; the bones will be of interest only to archaeologists (and that's why I've asked that my college ring and my family shield ring be left on my fingers, and my military dogtag in my shroud); but the granite marker will be of interest to genealogists such as us, and it matters not where it is situated! In the correct "family" plot would be nice, but even that is immaterial, really, for the preservation of vital data!

Phil, I understand that cemeteries can fall into disrepair and become ravaged and destroyed. What I don't understand is the point of moving the markers that are not damaged to another cemetery. Isn't the marker there to mark the final resting place of the deceased? I guess this is an issue with me because we know where my great grandfather is buried and there is now a highway running over his remains. He passed away in 1917 so the cemetery wasn't as old as many others yet the powers that be determined the land was better used as a highway. They did relocate remains to various other cemeteries but since the cemetery wasn't plotted and my great grandfather had no marker we now have no idea where his remains are located. My opinion is that if someone is going to move the stone they should also move the remains. I do understand, however, that this is not possible in all cases. Thanks for your input.

Gerald Preas, I know there are many people with the same name in all families but I haven't heard of that many in the Holt line with the name of Samuel. My Great-grandmother was a Holt in NC (Onslow County). Her father was Samuel Holt, I have no idea where he was from but lived and farmed in Onslow County, NC. He was born about 1808, married Narcissa Dennis in 1829. He was ordained a Primitive Baptist Minister in August 1843. That is about all I know about him except for the children's name given in Census. I am wondering if you might have seen any material on a Samuel Holt in NC. Thanks, Dorothy

Sorry, that would be abt1836. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorothy Brantley" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2006 10:09 PM Subject: [HOLT-L] Holt Genealogy > Gerald Preas, > > I know there are many people with the same name in all families but I > haven't heard of that many in the Holt line with the name of Samuel.

I think there was some sort of plot on my ranch. The area is 16 X 25 or so, fenced - with a very large old pecan tree in it- which was just hit by lightening a couple of years ago and killed but hasn't fallen yet. 'Pretty rocks' surroud the outside perimeter of the fence and there is a stone path from it that leads to where there used to be a gateway in the fence to the road out front. No one in the area now can remember there ever being a cemetery there and there are no markers but I am pretty positive that is what it is. I have not walked around inside the enclosure to any extent but the little time I did poke around- I was not able to find anything like a stone marker. I will not allow the fence to be removed or the area to be altered or disturbed in any way but if and when the land passes out of my or my children's ownership- it will likely be bulldozed and nothing of it will remain.

Hi Gerald, my line runs down from Elizabeth (Lizzie) Holt, d/o William Henry, s/o William Bennett, s/o David, s/o Burrell, s/o Samuel. Can you help me go further back? Donna

We have an abandoned cemetery near my home. The church is still standing but in bad condition. The first burial was in the 1860's and there seem to be no surviving relatives of those buried there. I surveyed the cemetery a few years back and posted the results on rootsweb. It's a good thing I did because a tornado struck and did significant damage shortly afterwards. I've tried to get groups together to help maintain the cemetery and church but without much luck. It seems it will soon go the way of some of these other cemeteries and just fade out of site and into nothing more than some useless land. How sad.

I'm not clear on this. How does a cemetery get destroyed? Is it just that the stones are destroyed? If so, why move any of the recovered stones to a 'viable' cemetery and leave the remains behind? I don't get it unless this was found located on someone's personal property and they just want to preserve the stones they recovered. Anyone else confused about this?

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Eej.2ACIB/2886 Message Board Post: My ancestor John Stewart 1714-1796 m. Keturah Holt 1714-1797 and they had a son named Simpson b. 1749 d. 1841 and he married Hannah (surname unknown) who died 1813 birthdate unknown as well. Family lore tells me that her surname could be either Rollins or Delano based on the names of children and grandchildren. I have exhausted every avenue in search of information on these names. I am now thinking that perhaps she was a Holt, as it was not uncommon for cousins to marry. The Stewarts came from Ulster in 1718 to Boston, then Andover,MA and then migrated to Amherst, NH. Simpson and Hannah lived in Jaffrey, NH for a time and then moved on to Berlin, VT in abt. 1800. They had a large family. I find census records of Holts in Amherst and Jaffrey, NH about the same time as the Stewarts were there, but they had a large number of family remain in Andover, MA Does anyone have any information on a Hannah, surname Holt or perhaps Gray if her mother was a Holt. Another lead is a Hannah d/o Ebenezer and Mehitable (Stevens) Holt b. in Andover, MA 1749. Ebenezer is s/o Samuel and Hannah (Farnum) Holt; Samuel s/o Samuel and Sarah (Unk) Holt and he is the s/o Nicholas and Elizabeth (Short) Holt - the immigrant. Any clues would be greatly appreciated. I have a reference of the Genealogical History of the Holt Family in the U.S. by Daniel Durrie, but it is limited. Thanks..Nora Stewart Yahl in St. Louis, MO
