Hello; Pardpn me, but that is the Oxford Lafayette County Library, and the Skipwith Historical society has a room upstair as their room. If you wolud include the names of the two cemeteries it would be helpful. Or We could assist you better. FYI, part of Lafayette county was taken into Calhoun and Yalobusha Counties after the 1850 census were taken. Could you pinpoint what part of Lafayette Co they lived in , did the 1850 census give a district or post office? Many are working to identify and find any grave or cemtery still lost. I just found a mention of a Hankin or Hankan family cemetery located on land at the y intersection of 7 and 9W but it is not marked on the county map. Found it when I was editing this family's page on my Early pioneer Families http://www.rootsweb.com/~mslafaye/ Thanks for your information. Thank you, again.
