    3. Hey Sherry, Hope you are doing well and had a good Thanksgiving. We did and went to my sister's home in Rincon, GA which is about 15 miles northwest of Savannah, my hometown. Had enough food for 15-20, but only fed 7 adults and 3 children. My wife baked 8 pies, 2 cakes, and I made 3 casseroles for my sister since she only had Thanksgiving Day off. We came back Friday to rest. :-) Yes, I'd like to do that and we need to make some plans on it maybe in Jan or Feb, or the later half of this month. I'm back working full time until the end of the year so my ability to get over there is limited for the time being. Have only gotten one other nibble from someone who knows of a cemetery off Courtney Huntsville Rd, but poor directions. I haven't given up on Surry since my next survey will be your Shoals Baptist Church. :-) Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sherry Poindexter" <spriversedge@yadtel.net> To: <ncyadkin@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 7:25 AM Subject: Re: [NCYADKIN] Need Help In Locating Old Cemeteries > Bob, I probably know of about 15 or 20 right off hand.
