Hello, I am probably sticking my nose into someone else message here, and I do apologize. From my understanding in North Carolina the land that a FAMILY CEMETERY is on is still the properly of the Family after the land is sold. So if the logger, contractor, and home owner rebuilding, etc. they are not suppose to touch the cemetery in any shape or form. I am NOT a lawyer, my information came from my mother, who family is from Brinkleyville, NC , when the family farm was sold, she ask about the family cemetery behind the old house who had control and say so on that piece of land and she was told it was still own buy the family forever, no matter how many time the farm change hands. Please if I am incorrect on this would someone let me know. Again, I am sorry for sticking my nose into someone else message. regards, Patti > [Original Message] > From: <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Date: 3/20/00 4:40:37 PM > Subject: Re: [NCWARREN-L] Williams? cemetary in Warren county. > > Anyone who happens on such circumstances should, if at all possible, take > photographs of any surviving stones.
