Well, this is one of those times I was apparently taken in. There is absolutely no connection between the Mc Cutchan cemetery and the Indian Burial Ground. In a way I was the victim of a very long running unverified story about the Indian Burial Ground in Section 1 of Lafayette Twp, lasting from 1882 until April 2006. There was never a Burial site in Section 1 as indicated by the location. The gentleman who wrote the story on Floyd Co. was from Newark, Ohio, and if he was ever here, he probably had never been to this type of environment. It may be true in another section, but not this one. I want to clear this up with everyone that there is a Development going in, but no Native American Burials are involved, knowingly at this time. We still need to use Ground Penetrating Radar to Check for Burials where Mrs Fenwick said they were when she was a little Girl . A cemetery is still missing and subject to Development. I remember the Dime Novels that were printed (Before I was Born) like the Westerns. The writer embellished on the story to make it more interesting so they would sell back east. I was told the Burial Ground was near Indian Creek. Well, as far as I can determine after 6-7 hours a day for a week in the Recorders Office looking for deeds for Alexander McCutchan and not finding them where they should be in Section 1, I finally give up today. I found 2 but so far they are in another Section not scheduled for Development at this time. I have not stopped searching for a Native American Burial Ground, only the hurry up has slowed down. I am still pushing for a serious check for the Elusive McCutchan Cemetery. If I have unnecessarily disturbed anyone I'm sorry, but I was disturbed because time was running out. As I said, I am still looking for the Native-American site. I believe it is out there somewhere. If so, Ill find it in the next Section.!!! SORRY. Jack E.
