    2. Nor did it lead them to the Caldwell county list. I have learned from a reliable source that the remains were reinterred four sets to a grave . In essence four sets of remains were combined and dumped in a common grave. So now even if we can identify the Graveyard and a list of who might have been buried there the remains have been forever desecrated. I have been studying the census records all day and The Satrnes and Poovey Families seem well rooted in Lovelady township in the same vicinity. Edgar Vance Starnes who sold the family Farm is a direct descendant of Joseph and Catherine Bowman Starnes through their son Simon Starnes and Wife Evaline Poovey. One Researcher indicates that Catherine Bowman Starness was buried at a Bisnar Cemetery in Caldwell in the 1860's. I can find no reference to said Cemetery. Is anyone esle familar with it?? Catherine Bowman Starnes was my Mothers relative many generations back. Beyond being outraged at what ahs happened I am worried that my Grandfathers siblings who died of a Typhoid epedemic in the late 1890's may have been buried at the Satrnes Farm. My Great Grandfather Noah Bowman was living near the Starnes Families in 1900 in Lovelady Township. I believ he moved to Lovelady and lived on Starnes Land or land that belonged to His Uncle Samuela nd Aunt Susan Bowman. In 1850 Uncle Samuel Bowman was practically a next door neighbor to Joseph Starnes and wife Catherine Bowman,
