I probably sound cynical but I wouldn't hold out much hope for your ancestors' cemetery to last. One of my ancestors' cemeteries in Jackson Co. was CLEARLY marked on plat maps. However, the "powers that be" destroyed it when Cedar Lake was built. In other words, some of my ancestors (including the graves of at least 2 children) are now at the bottom of Cedar Lake. Apparently, "progress" is more important than respecting graves. At the very least, I feel that my ancestors' should have been exhumed and reburied. None of us descendants have even been given an apology for what was done to the graves of our ancestors. Carol Our life may not always be the party we would have chosen, but while we are here, we may as well dance!
