Betty, have you visited the Rootsweb Message board for the surname Hennessey and added this info there? You can also attach the photo to your post, and then it is there as long as the web site stays up! Back in April, I posted seven headstone photos up on the various surname message boards, and earlier this month got a thank you from one of the descendants of one person, they were so excited to have this info!

Speaking of which..... I have been informed by a Cousin Russell Phillips who was born in Easton that the cemetery were Captain John Phillips was buried required some type of work and all of the gravestones were removed after a map was made showing the locations of all of the stones. When it came time to place the gravestones back it was found that the map was lost therefore the grave stones where not put back. I, at this time, do not know if the gravestones still exist. I believe that Captain John was buried in the Old Church St. Cemetery. I informed another cousin about the situation and she wrote back... That is the cemetery I was referring to alright. It must have been in 2003 or 4 when I was there and some were standing and others decaying around on the ground, but nothing one could read. I read in Chaffin's book about these men, including Captain John Phillips, designating the land and stepping off this cemetery. Cousin Luella informs me that they had taken pictures of the cemetery and some/many of the gravestones. I've asked her to look for them and send them to me and she has. On July 4, 2009 and what more fitting date when we remind ourselves of our ancestors who fought and died in the Revolutionary War she sent the pictures she took, however they were only views of the cemetery. Scattered amongst the graves the flag of the United States marking the grave of a soldier and given the age of the stones, these flags fly at the memorial of a Revolutionary Soldier. An overhead view of the cemetery using Google Maps in fact shows the cemetery now void of gravestones. Easton. Is there now shame? -----Original Message----- From: manorfol-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:manorfol-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Susan Daily Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 5:32 PM To: manorfol@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [Norfolk Co MA] Grave stones - Hennessey Betty, have you visited the Rootsweb Message board for the surname Hennessey and added this info there?
