Dewey, I have the maps that were done in about 1981. I have been out on Cresshill Lane. It turns to the right (west) after you pass where George File once lived and then past where the Chumleys once lived (in the 1850's-60's) and goes to Mr. Chumley's place. According to the map it would be south of the turn in the road. I did not see a way to go on south. It appears it would be some 2 miles north of Rt 185 and some 1/2 mile south of Chapman T Trail. Just about midways from Chapman Trail is an old barn type bldg on the east side of the road. This is where my g-g-grandfather's place was. They moved there is about 1843...my g-g- died in 1863. After my g-grandfather and g-grandmother were married they moved to my g-grandmother's home place. They tore down the old house and built a new one in the late 1800's. My g-grandmother died there in 1925. Later it was rented for several years. My grandfather sold the place somewhere btw 1925-1940. I suppose I could go to the courthouse and look up the exact date. The Robert Dent Moore family lived across the road from the George File homestead. Robert Moore's daughter married my g-grandfather's son (James Harry "Bun" Barricklow) from his first marriage. >From the map it appears the cemetery should be some 1/4 - 1/2 mile south of where the road turns west. Hopefully the cemetery has not been destroyed.
