The Caswell County Historical Association's Richmond-Miles Museum has a map of the county's old cemeteries and a volume of cemetery inventories that was compiled by Register of Deeds Burch Blalock in the 1950's. The Museum is open Tuesday-Friday from 12:00-4:00 PM. Just ask the volunteer on duty to show you the Blalock Cemetery Inventory and the Cemetery Map. These records are not a complete inventory or record for the county, but was a major start in preserving these records. We welcome contributions of information about any additional cemeteries that you folks out there know about. Please give us accurate directions to the cemetery and as accurate and complete a list of the graves as you can collect.

I recently drove all over the eastern portion of Caswell County, asking all of the "old-timers" that I could find about it's location. No one was able to provide any help. A Wells cousin, Jim Wells, found the following on the internet about some Caswell cemeterys: "I came across a notation of a Malone Family Cemetery with directions to it down Corbett-hard surfaced road and close to Lynches Creek Primitive Baptist Church and near Willie Warren and Will Moore's farm about 3 miles from NC Highway #86 near Hyco and Lynches Creek----I believe these directions were notated to have been written in the late 50's or early 60's" > > Can anyone provide futher information about this location? Is this perchance, under the Hyco lake? > > I will greatly appreciate any help on this. Our ancestor, Miles Wells, is supposed to have been instrumental in establishing this church. His son, William "Willis" Wells joined the Lynches Creek Church in 1814, became a deacon in 1821, ordained as a minister in 1840 and was chosen as paster in 1849. > > Two of Miles Wells' sons intermarried with decendants of Daniel Malone and his wife, Elizabeth Staples. Miles Wells, Jr. married Perthenia Malone, as his first wife;another son, Thomas Lee Wells married Mary Robards Rainey, daughter of Isaac Rainey and Sarah Malone. Sarah was a daughter of Daniel. I would also appreciate information on the Rainey family, earlier and later. > > Best regards, > > John Fox > Winston Salem, NC > > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >
