The other day I had asked the List if anyone knew the directions to Maney's Cemetery because I had noticed at the Political Graveyard site that the politician Thomas Wynns (1764 - 1825) is buried there? Mr. Stephenson e-mailed me today with these directions: The directions to the James Maney Cemetery at Riddicksville in the Como section of Hertford County are as follows from Murfreesboro: Take US258 North toward the Virginia State line. About 1000 yards south of the Va. state line turn off right on NC county road 1322 and turn right on county rd. 1319 and go about a mile to where 1319 makes a sharp right which is where an abandoned NC Forest Service Fire tower is. The old Maney home is off to the right, a large 3-story house with 2 outbuildings. Where 1319 makes the sharp right the private road to the left is the old road to Maney's Ferry. The Maney cemetery is located down that private road on the left in a wooded area. it is very difficult to find and it is on private land that belongs to James Riddick. Mr. Riddick may help people find it but one should call be attempting to locate the cemetery because it is very hard to find and that is huge block of woods meaning it is very easy to get lost. Incidently my book on Parker's Ferry has a picture of the Maney Cemetery in it.
