to take up a discussion from a few weeks back--I went to Wilkinson county and my cousin and I drove down the Perrytown road and stopped and talked to a family I thought John Robert Murray said would know the location of the cemetery. They did know of an old cemetery they called the "Havard Cemetery". The man said there were two headstones but they were sinking into the ground and covered with dirt and would need cleaning to read. The directions we received took us 1.03 of a mile from Roseta on the left side of the road. There was a road leading into the place with a locked gate and a note that the property was posted by the Racks II hunting club. If there is someone in the area that would know members of the club, or owner of the property, they could probably tell them more about the graveyard. The people who gave us directions lived in a house which sets in a sink on the left side of the road and had several trailer houses around it. I don't know that this would be the cemetery where my great grandmother Laura Annie Anders Gober was buried. I am sure there are many of these small cemeteries lost in the woods, some with no headstones remaining to indicate there were ever people buried there. Virginia

I believe I copied these from the loose probate papers. I do have one question that someone out there might answer; In the first records the heirs are listed as: Moses Cavin, David N. Cavin & Mary Jane Cavin; in later records the heirs are listed as Moses Cavin, James P. Cavin & Mary Jane Cavin. Anyone have any idea why James P. was left off the first list and David N off the others? I have her children as 1. WILLIAM THOMAS CAVIN JR. 2. WALTER CAVIN 3. ROBERT CAVIN 4. JAMES PIAS CAVIN 5. INFANT.(Male) 2 months old, 3 July 1850 Mississippi. This child either died or is Moses, two years younger than thought. 6. MOSES CAVIN 7.
