Thanks, Judy. Union Grove was a Church as well as Cemetery but it isn't on the USGS Lafayette County listing. This Cemetery index in the MDAH files I mentioned in my first post tonight had 156 cemeteries listed but 14 were listed twice, the 14 were listed in a DAR indexing too. The USGS only has 66 names listed so if Paul Bruenin is interested he should locate the other 76 with his new eletronic directional gadget. It would be a great help, I can look them up but it will take time , I don't know if the Skipwith 's cemteries books have the direction to the cemteries in their indexing or not, haven't thought to look, I know they had the directions to the Paris Memorial and Crocker Cemetries in VOL. 1, so I would think they gave directions to the other.

Is ELISHA WEBB SHARP the same Elisha A. Sharp listed on the 1850 census as a child of John J. Sharp? I'm assuming that the John Sharp, age 85, on the 1850 census is the father of John J. Sharp, age 50. Do you agree? I'm also assuming they had only been in MS for about six years as the youngest child, Elisha A, was born in AL. So, did Mary Sharp's family follow her and Elisha to MS or did they all come together?

Hello, Judy; Thanks for reply, your apology is accepted.:) I have been doing a lot of seaching about these cemterys since Paul put his announcement on the board. In doing so I went to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History site http://www.mdah.state.ms.us/arlib/find.html under the new cemtery topic , I pulled up Lafayette County and found the following which might help you see if the Thweatts are on the Union Grove Church cemetery index. Here is the information: Union Grove Church Call Number: 929.3/M691/L13, Vol. 1 page 122., the Wilkes/Williams Cemetery is 929.3/M69L/L13; Vol 1, pg. 124. Now, I don't known if these indexs are the Skipwith Lafayeete County Cemtery books or not. But, you should check them out. The MDAH has instruction on how to request copies of the cemetery or if you have someone here who has the cemtery books, I tell you what William Ward does look-ups for the Lafayette Co Mailing list , Contact him , give him the information I just gave you and ask him to please do a look-up for you in these two cemeteries. blessings; Evie --- JWJDS63@aol.com wrote: > Evie, > I am very sorry to misname the Library in my last > email.

Excuse me, I send the exact directions yesterday using Hwys and county roads. The simplest way is through Paris, take CR 428, it becomes rough gravel 1 mile past the Paris Memorial Cemetery, but it is maintained by the County so the road is passable. About 8 to 10 miles , you will come to your first road bearing off CR 428, this is CR 493 , take this 1/10 to 1/2 mi on your right or east side of road will be the WEBB cemetery with a metal gate and sign arching over gate with WEBB on it. You may come from Tulia on Hwy 334 to CR 445 turn west go about 1 or 2 mi to CR 428 , take it several miles. the cemtery will be east of road. You don't need an electronic gizmo to take you there , just good road savvy. It is on the 911 County Map. No red cross is at cemtery nor hill top.
