If so, I would love to share info on this family if you are willing. I have some to share, but I must admit it is not a whole lot. Anna was my 3rd great grandmother.

Hi Dee, Thanks for the reply... Yes, I have the same problem....My Gt. Grandmother, Viola, is truly buried in the Shipman Cemetery, but my Gt. Aunt (not my Gt. Grandmother as I stated in the earlier email) stated in her letter that her grandfather Elias died in 1915 and was buried in Hobbs Cemetery "between Abbottsburg and Clarkton".

Well, I am glad Jason is so open minded. I have been on a couple of list that you could almost feel punches thrown on. I hate it when they get like that. I have always been very happy with this list though. They are all a very sharing supportive group. I am surprised that there is nothing on the Raeford Faircloth Cemetery. Do the books cover the Autryville, Clinton, and Salemburg areas? Autryville is the closest to the cemetery, but I would imagine it might show up with Clinton or Salemburg . I wonder if there are other books as well on the cemeteries? I have been told it was documented by John C. Rosser. Maybe that was wrong?
