Sam The Rodney Cemetery is listed in "Claiborne County, Mississippi - The Promised Land" by Katy M. Headley on pages 280-281. "Location: In the town of Rodney, Miss., Jefferson County, just up the hill behind the Rodney Presbyterian Church." There are thirty burials listed. I know from experience at the Sarepta Methodist Church cemetery that the listing may not be complete. There are listings for: Burkley, Heckler, Broughton, Coleman, Beynroth, Rea, Brown, Welch, Briggs, Schober, & Rietz. Nancy Brister has the listings and other wonderful info about Union Hill cemetery online. Some of my Boren clan is even buried there. http://www.geocities.com/twincousin2334/Union_Church_Cemetery.html Grand Gulf cemetery is listed on pages 325-327 of The Promised Land, but I didn't find any of those you were looking for. Wintergreen Cemetery at Port Gibson is quite large, and I don't have the listings. It is extremely well maintained and should be safe even in the summer, but you and Ann Brown are certainly right about the dangers of some of the more remote cemeteries this time of year. By the way, Ann Geoghegan and her husband are trying to organize a cleanup of the cemetery in Fayette, which she is wisely planning for this fall, after it cools down a bit. She's looking for volunteer's. If you, or anyone else wants lookups from The Promised Land, I will be more than glad to do so. So many nice people have helped me. Clay Daniels

Clay, Thank you so much for this kind offer of look-ups. There are probably family members representing several of my lines buried in Claiborne County, but right now, I'm particularly interested in OSBORNE, BALDRIDGE and STAMPLEY. I don't anticipate finding very many of these names, but if there are more than a just few, I wouldn't impose on you by asking for all of their info---just the name and cemetery would be much appreciated. No hurry, whenever you have the time. Thanks, again!
