Marfty, Roads I am sure have changed, but you are right about where the grave is. We went to Locktown Church Cemetery past the Slacks corner one. Our John S. Shepherd is buried in Locktown 1879 at 70 yrs Wife Margaret is there also. Flag and marker there so easy to find. Hope you get to check and see if Elisha is at Slacks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marfy Goodspeed" <marfy.goodspeed@verizon.net> To: <NJHUNTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 12:32 PM Subject: RE: [NJHUNTER] Independance Graveyard/Slack's Corner >I have been told that the cemetery is in Kingwood Township, on the > Locktown Road, south of Hwy 12.
