    1. [KYFLOYD] Re: John Porter burial site
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/pAB.2ACI/5186.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Probably the best way to get this cemetery cleaned is to get prisoners from the Floyd County Jailer. Roger Webb, the Jailer, will allow prisoners to work on cemeteries, with the provision that someone, who is resposnible for the cemetery gives permission, and a person is provided to show the prisoners what to do. In this case, Mrs. Marshall would probable be the owner, and her permission would be needed. This cemetery is very old. I will mention it in our next Floyd County Historical and Genealogical Society meeting. Maybe there is something we can do to get it cleaned up. The fact that John Walker Porter was a Revolutionary War soldier should cause our society to take some action. I'll let you know the outcome.
