Bobbie, According to Burke Co. Cemetery Book 2, the Bristol listings in Hartland Church of God Cemetery north of Morganton are as follows: Bristol, Cordie E. 1887-1953 (wife of Matthew) Bristol, Henriette Corpenng 12-6-1906 - 10-19-1952 Bristol, Lloyd Alexander 10-24-1907 - 11-30-1967 Bristol, Matthew M. 1877-1965 I looked in the Burke Co. Cemetery Index and Susan Lou was not listed. Do you have any idea of her maiden name? You didn't state race as both white and black folks are cited in 1880 Census. Bristol listings in 1880 Census, Burke Co. Quaker Meadows Twp. are cited as Mulatto and/or Black 41/41 Bristol, Julius & family, and at 44/44 Bristol, George & family Lower Creek Twp. 116/117 Bristol, Math BM 40 Married farm laborer NC NC NC Susan BF 28 wife Married KH NC NC NC ========= (is this she?)

I was wondering if burials of this family were on family burying grounds, etc. At Willow Tree A.M.E. Church Cemetery north of Morganton - and might be related to those cited above - Bristol, Lillie Avery 9/12/1914 - 3/27/1991 Bristol, Luther 3/10/1904 - 10/25/1981 I hope the above info helps. Best of Luck. Ann K. Propst, Brevard, (Transylvania Co.)
