I visited this cemetery about 10 years ago. Going east on Colbern Road past New Liberty Church, turn north on Corn Road. The cemetery is less than a mile north of Colbern Road on the east side of the road. It is very near to Corn Road, and consists of being a grassy area, with not many grave stones left, which is typical of old cemeteries in that area. If you were only looking for head stones sticking out of the ground, you could miss the cemetery completely. Bev Hsrris Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Success in old graveyards may come by going, at this time of years, as ground thaws or after a rain. Go with a sturdy metal probe, I use an electric fencing post, probe the ground in systemtic order. You will hit several clues. It hits something hard, Head , foot stone or merely a stone, goes in too easy, probably a site, probe half stride in and up or down( half stride is one foot in front of other). Now you will need a good back and a sharp spade,if you have permission to dig. Cut the sod off and place to one side. Now see if you have a marker. It would indeed be quicker if we had expensive ground reading probes, maybe one day. Be sure to return everything as near to ,as you found it, as possible. If you are looking for a truly old site get advice BEFORE doing anything. -----Original Message----- From: mojackso-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mojackso-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of gc-gateway@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, February 28, 2010 12:58 PM To: MOJACKSO-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MOJACKSO] Tarsney, Van Buren, Jackson This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
