    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AKB.2ACI/1256.1.1.1.2.1.1 Message Board Post: Gene; As I stated yesterday and today on the Lafayette Co mailing -l which most likely don't return to this borad. The easiest and closest way to the Webb Cemtery is taking either CR 428 through Paris to CR 493 and the cemetery is abr 1/10 to 1/2 mi. on the east side of CR 493. You can also continue on the old Tulia Rd. (CR 430) though Paris until you come to the intersection of CR 445 which is the old Delay rd turn east and again you have to watch for CR 493 intersection,turn south , go abt. 10 mi. to Webb Cemetery will be on east side of road. The USGS coordinates are Tulia dist. 341047N 0892226W Tula, coming from Tulia you are on Hwy 331 S. to CR 428 turn West , go until CR 493 intersection , turn North on CR 493 to the cemetery. These roads all have County Road numbers now since the 911 numbering system went into effect. When I talk to old timers here around Paris they refer to the roads by their old names not number, CR 428 was called the old Sardis rd, its' history dates back to 1835 in the Lafayette Co commisioners court minutes , it ran through my great grandfather Miles Crocker property. I found where he was paid 1.35 by county for repairing the bridge which is over Dickey Creek before he died in 1895. Your map failed to mention that to reach the cemetery you must turn off the old DeLay rd., south onto CR 493.
