Here are additional names to add to the Britt-Morris Cemetary. Matilda M(artha) Cobb 1847-1921 Gone but not forgotten (wife of GW Cobb, maiden name Shaw) GW Cobb (George Washington) laying down and broken in half 1847-1923 Gone but not fogotten Helen Barber Overton August 1, 1936 2 months, 4 days (metal marker) Mother Margaret Ann Britt (Daughter of James Monroe and Margaret Britt) Wife of James T. Morris May 30, 1855 December 1, 1928 James Thomas Morris June 19, 1848 April 21, 1922 Margaret Anne (Shaw) Britt 1828-1897 (wife of James Monroe Britt) There were two small headstones beside each other with hand engraved writing both with Baby Ann Shade Cobb on them but no dates. Two other small headstones together with no evidence of engraving. Other signs of unmarked graves.

Mathilda almost certainly has to be Margaret Ann's sister. Does anyone have any info to support that? I have scanned photos of some of these gravesites (provided by Neil Baker - Thank You Very Much!) if anyone is interested. -- Happy Hunting!! -- Paul Houston, TX, USA ICQ #73314929 Researching: VA - WHITE,LIPSCOMB,HILL,JOHNSON,SAUNDERS, TALBOT,TATE,EVANS NC - SMITH, BOSWELL, RHODES, CAPEHART,MORRIS, MARSHE, BRITT,SHAW View my American Ancestry at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~paulrsmith **************** FREE Credit Card Referral Program.
