The first cemetery is Dodson Cemetery but most people say it was also Hammack Cemetery. There are Hammacks buried there, but as far as I know, there are no Dodsons. That piece of land was owned by Jesse Dodson and he and mody of his family moved to Colorado and are buried there. One of the earlier maps shows another cemetery on land that was owned by Simeon Van Dusen, and would be on the east side of P. I have been told that are some stones on that property, but there are no recordings for the cemetery. That territory is also known to have a good deal of poison ivy. Calista

We have a map that shows two cemeteries down county road P south of New Cambria. The first one is Dodson and the second one is Hammock. We were just down the road and could only find one cemetery and it was not marked. One person we asked said it was the Dodson Cemetery and another person said it was Hammock. There are a few Hammock family members buried there. At any rate, we are still searching for one lost cemetery. Does anyone know where it is?

Also, several of the wills and probates are available at the Macon courthouse from the information I have read from Ernie's Macon County Website. How do I go about planning a visit to the Courthouse to actually see the records? Do I make an appointment or ???? Also, since Bevier is where the James Edgar Mullinix (my grandfather) Roots begin, who would we contact about a Mullinix Reunion in Bevier for next summer? How would we go about getting the word out other than the message center here? If you have any ideas on how the "Mullinix" family could get together please email me. Thank You! (Since Jonathan Mullinix sailed from Newgate, England to Maryland, June 10th, 1726 would be a great day to start off the Reunion in Bevier) Please let me kow what you think. Thank you again, Mary
