Cheri, I finally pulled my head out and read what you sent. The cemeteries in that area seem to have been moved to Bowman Cemetery. 2 cemeteries show up real close. Jacques Creek Cem in SENE 8 22 N 22W James Cem in Center of SW 1/4 section 9 22 N 22 W. Both were within 1/4 mile of the White river. According to the Corps of Engineers relocation charts these are the graves that were moved. James Cem----Ora James Jacques Creek Cem-----Galion(female) the notes say this grave was marked by a 6"X6"x6' native stone Brian Shay >> >> Kinklector@aol.com wrote: >> >>> I had an ancestor who bought a Land Patent and lived here: >>> SESE 8 22-N 22-W No 5th PM >>> >>> The headings are as follows: >>> >>> Aliquot Part: SESE >>> Section: 8 >>> Township: 22-N >>> Range: 22-W >>> Fractional Section: No >>> Meridian Name: 5th PM (PM=Principal Meridian) >>> >>> I grew up (and still live) in a city, so this Township and Range stuff is > a >>> little confusing.
