I sent the following message early this morning, but I have not received a copy from the list. I usually do receive a copy. "Joan, "I have the list of people buried in the Big Robin Rains Cemetery as of 1980 in Vol. 1 of Mr. Cornelius's Whitley Co. Cemeteries. There are some Bunches, Lawson's, and a large number of Rains. In addition, there are Smiths, Isaacs, Mayfield's, and others. The heading of the list states that the cemetery is on the Savoy side of Cotton Creek at a place called Dal. I looked at the map in the back of Vol. 1 and can't figure what road takes you to that cemetery. The Cumberland River runs between the cemetery and Highway 92 as you travel toward Bell County.

I was wondering if anyone had a way of getting in touch with someone at Red Bird Baptist church? It would be in regards to the cemetary at that location. Karen

Hello Evelyn, Thank you so very much for the burial information. I really appreciate the help, and it does certainly help. Sincerely, Kathy

Deb, I don't know what's wrong with me today. The first Bunchs I listed for you were from the 1860 census. The last listings were from the 1850. I think I said they were from 1860 also. They were households #'s 2-101; 2-376; 1-585; 2-289; and 2-182. The Solomon Bunch family was also from the 1850. Mary Siler

Deb, you can change that one Braig Bunch to Craig Bunch. Just a typo on my part. Mary Siler

According to Mr. Cornelius's Cemeteries, Whitley Co., Vol. 1, Ransom Stanford and his wife Joice are buried in Briar Creek Cemetery, Williamsburg, KY. Ransom was born 15 Oct 1822 and died 2 Jun 1897.
