There is a McFall Cemetery in that section 24 you mention: http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=37.56184&lon=-92.75604&datum=NAD27&s=50&size=l Then there is a Mount Zion Cemetery about 3.3 miles NW of there: http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=37.59596&lon=-92.79774&datum=NAD27&s=50&size=l Mike

Randy, thanks for the explanation. I guess I just never imagined anyone would write on a legal document or cross out information. My copy is stamped on the top as a certified copy of the original and is dated Feb 18, 1983. I guess whoever then crossed out the info and wrote in Lucinda before the copies were made and distributed to various family members. Do you know what "Pete" Amos' full name is? gdorrisno1@prodigy.net wrote: This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Actually, there are several death certificates that call the Delaware cemetery Howard Cemetery. The Howard's did own land in that area. It remains to be proven to me if the cemetery was casually called that by the locals, or if that was its' original name. Off the top of my head, I don't think the stones I read that now are reported to be in "Howard" cemetery looked like they had been moved, but my memory is a scary thing on which to rely. The Delaware Church originally stood a good distance west of the present cemetery. Perhaps when the Church was moved up to the cemetery location, they renamed the cemetery? The Church is now gone as well. I seem to recall a tale of broken wagons, (hurt horses?) moving the Church up the hill. Again, my memory is usually faulty. Brenda "Mabel G.

Glenda, The version filed with the state has "don't know" for both name of mother and birthplace of mother. Your mother may have given you a version that someone else (unknown) had marked up. The state's copy was filed by W.W. Daugherty, the undertaker. I don't know his relationship, if any, to Thomas Jefferson "Jeff" Daugherty, the informant and son-in-law of Susan's long-dead brother Stephen. The only items marked through on the original involve Susan's birthplace. It first showed "Mo" or Missouri, which is marked out. Then it shows "Tenss" or Tennessee, which is marked out. (I don't think she ever stepped foot in Tennessee.) Then it shows "Mich" or Michigan, which was correct. Pete Amos' old manuscript on the Edwards family makes reference to a version that includes Lucinda Moffett's name, but this document has murkier origins than the official death certificate. There is no record of this marriage for David Sink. It should have been in Virginia between 1828 and 1830 or so, if it existed. But I haven't found it for Franklin Co., where David apparently returned from Michigan and likely stayed with or near the children from his first wife. We know he didn't marry his third (or fourth) wife, Wealthy Hartwell, until 1838 in Michigan, even though she was born in VA. Randy McConnell

Rick: I wonder if our note that Isabella Bennett was from Howard Co. really means she might have been related to Howards? There is also a slim chance that her name may have been Elvira ........... Jerry Johnston
