Received an email this morning and they said Maxey was located in Union County as that part had been Pontotoc at one time. Thanks to everyone who was so concerned about the location. I appreciate it so very much. Maybe I can help someone, another time. Georgia

Hi, have been out of pocket for the weekend,but just caught the tail end of this conversation. I looked in the GNIS site and found out that there are 2 Maxey Cemeteries. One is located in Lee Co.,Ms. and the other is located in Itawamba Co.,Ms. If you will go to the GNIS site, http://geonames.usgs.gov/ it will give you the latitude and longitude numbers and then you should also be able to bring up a map that will show you appx. where they are located. Don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for,etc..,but hope it will be of some help.lol Another idea is to see if the genealogy societies in these areas have cemetery maps. I live in Union Co.,Ar and one of the couples in the genealogy society went around every Saturday and Sunday afternoon until they had "located" every cemetery in Union Co. and had marked them on a General Highway Map for Union Co. The guy who did this with his wife was telling me about it and he said it was done as a project for the 1836 - 1986 State Sesquicentennial. They sent it to a map maker? or somewhere like that and had it printed up to sell. For the most part, all of the cemeteries were already known because they had been surveyed,but I think they did find a couple of unknowns,etc...The map shows all of the roads in Union Co.,the towns and the population on some of them, the townships are outlined, the cemeteries are marked and if they are in combination with a church, then the church is also marked(but not otherwise).The Section,Range, and Township info is marked off and the best part is that on the bottom of the page, they listed all of the cemeteries in alphabetical order and put the S,R,T info,so that you can find the cemetery on the map.The map can also be used for other purposes.ha They sell the map at the library in El Dorado,Union Co.,AR for about $3.50. The point to all of this is that someone might want to check and see if one of these counties or any other co. that you are interested in might have done something like this.
