Either they never had stones or they were gone or unreadable when the cemetery was recorded. You may want to contact the Lawrence County Genealogical Society (lawcoloreman@aol.com) and ask whether the society or the Hamner Room at the Briggs Library in Ironton has the application information on First Families. From this application you may find the kind of information that you are looking for. According to First Family Society a Kevin E. Stevens was admitted to the society by proving 1st Family status for John Pancake, Isaac Delong, Jr. & Sr, Lorethra Indicutt, Hannah Crawford. In the History of Lawrence County published in 2003 a story was submitted by a Kristy Stevens. It states Isaac Delong Sr. born 1769, died 1837, son of John Delong, was one of the first settlers in Lawrence County. His wife, Hannah Crawford, was the daughter of Edmund & Mary (Roseberry) Crawford. She was born in about 1770 and died in 1840. Isaac and his family were in the county by 1818. They were traveling from PA where their youngest son, Elijah, was born. Isaac and Hannah's children were Ann, Catherine, Polly, Elizabeth, Rachel, Edmond, Deborah, Jesse, Francis, Isaac Jr, Elijah and Jemima Delong. Some of the children married and stayed in this area. Isaac Jr married Christina Sharp on April 11, 1833 and had no children. He then married Lucy Nance on April 13, 1845 and had Sarah, Susan, George, Richard, Mary, Isaac, Thomas and Victoria Delong. Based on this information, Isaac Jr's son Isaac III is probably the one found in the cemetery records. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
