    1. [KYANDERS] Cemetery Information Needed
    2. Linda Gudgel Finnell
    3. Hi Folks- I have a researcher friend coming to KY to research her GRIFFEY and WHITENACK lines and visit cemeteries next weekend and she is asking about the location of two cemeteries in Anderson Co. Can someone help me with this? The Silas Thompson Cemetery- She found reference to this cemetery in the manuscript pages (on microfilm from the Family History Center in Salt Lake City) from the DAR Chapter in Lawrenceburg. Dated Dec., 1943, Mrs. James O. Franklin says there are 2 stones on the farm then owned by Mrs. Chester Hawkings, 3 1/2 miles from Lawrenceburg on the road to Glensboro. Apparently there were more graves, but the graveyard was partly destroyed. Old Griffey Farm Cemetery- In an article written by the late Wyatt Shely on the Henry CARDWELL family, dated October 31, 1974, it mentions "a small family graveyard can still be identified on the old GRIFFEY farm (now owned by Norman Barker) a short distance west of Lawrenceburg off Highway 61." If anyone can help with directions or current owners of these properties, it would sure be appreciated. I am sure she is getting all her ducks lines up before she gets here. Sounds like a smart researcher <g>. Many Thanks, Linda Gudgel Finnell (also a GRIFFEY and WHITENACK descendant). --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
