    3. Mary, I have a lot of relatives burried in Oak Hill Cemetery. I could have SWORN that was in Clay Co. My grandparents, William B. ROGERS and his wife Edith Pearl WESTFALL ROGERS are burried there. I'm pretty sure my grandmother's parents are there, Luther WESTFALL and Sarah Jenny WEST WESTFALL. Jenny had a baby out of wedlock and caused her parents grave disappointment. In fact, I believe she had that baby with a Lautenschlager (BOY, I did a "soundex" spelling on that one!). Mom said the baby died at birth and is burried there with Sarah Jenny WESTFALL. I have been searching for info on Luther WESTFALL for a couple of years but I haven't visited Oak Hill to see if there is anything there for him. I have his wife Sarah Jenny WEST traced back fairly well, especially on HER mother's side, Nancy GILBERT WEST. I come home for short weekend visits to check on my parents who live in Terre Haute, and I never seem to be able to get to the CCGS or to visit the cememteries. I want to so BAD!! I guess I'll just have to leave my husband. I'll make him stay here (Richmond, KY) and work, and I'll go up to T.H. for a week of cemetery hopping. My whole family, on both my mother's and father's sides, goes way back to the early 1800s in Clay Co. I was born in Vigo Co. I have a lot of information but I'd love to have copies of the paperwork such as deeds, marriage bonds, death certs. and wills, etc. I'm sure much of that can be found at the CCGS. Thank you for all your labor and making this a great list of info. Barbara Marks
