Can anyone tell me how to obtains names and directions to some of these old relocated sites? I suspect that my great grandparents, George WILKERSON and his wife, Tiriece Emaline ALLEN was buried in the Horseshoe Bottom, Clyde or Lulu area. They were last know to be living in 1892 at Clyde. gg-grand mother, (Tiriece's mother) Nancy JONES ALLEN was buried at Mt. Hope-Bugwood, Wayne Co. about 1900. She lived to be almost 100 and very well may have out lived her daughter. Nancy's husband, Henry Allen was killed in 1863 and he was buried at Davis' Methodist Cemetery near the Clinton-Wayne border. I will not have very much time in Russell,Clinton, Wayne and Casey Counties so I need to make every moment count. Thanks, Marie in Texas
Marie, there is a James Allen buried at Davis Chapel United Methodist Church in Clinton County on Old Highway 90 near the Wayne County Line. Nearest community is Alpha. There is no birth or death dates listed. Says he was in Co. C, 32nd KY infantry, Union Civil War veteran. This is from ROCKS OF AGES BY Gary Denton Norris. My GUFFEY ancestors are buried there. Good luck in your searches. Allen E. Long
