This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Simmons, The Area South of Agenda Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Vm.2ADI/148 Message Board Post: I have plat maps and ariel views of the area south of Agenda in which my Great-Grandparents owned land, and where my grandfather lived. I am looking for someone who is familiar with area that might be willing to help me find an address of who lives at the location in which my family possibly lived. To get to the right area, you would take the road on the west edge of Agenda and go south, probably about 2 miles. I have seen this road listed on some maps today as County Route 27 5/10. Aprox. 2 miles south of Agenda, there is a cemetery on the east side of the road. The train tracks (or where the train tracks used to run) would be just east of this road too). I don't know what this cemetery is called, but it is probably a fairly small cemetery, and should date back at least prior to 1900. In the early 1900's, a school sat there in front of the cemetery and it was School No. 40. My grandfather attended this school. This cemetery (and where this school once sat) is just ! to the northern edge of what was my family's property. They would have owned the land south from the cemetery, to the next road south. (They also owned the land on the west side of the road too. In otherwords, the road cut their land in half.) Their home would have sat on the east side of the road, the same side as the cemetery. From the arial views of this land today, there appears to be buildings and/or a farm still sitting exactly where my family's home and farm would have been in the early 1900's. What I would like to know is if anybody can possibly help me with who owns this farm today, or what the address is, or how the road is addressed. I can't locate any listings going by the County Route 27 5/10 in any internet directories. I would like to contact these people by mail and ask some questions about the land and whether or not my family's home still exists today. Likewise, there is a family story that my grandparents had an infant child that died and that th! is child was actually buried on their land, next to the cemetery, but not in the cemetery. I don't know if this true or not, however. If anybody can me with this "needle in a haystack" request, I would so much appreciate it! If anybody thinks they might be able to help, I could email them directly the plat maps and the ariel views which might help them see exactly what farm I'm talking about. Thank you! LaDonna
