My 3x gr grandparents ( Asa and Mary Jane Robinson ) resided 1860s in Masterton (Bethel Twp) Monroe County with their son living nearby. The 1870 census shows the son now residing in Newport (Ludlow Twp) Washington County with his mother but father apparently deceased. Before planning a trip I need the expertise/insight of someone familiar with the area to answer a few questions. 1. what cemeteries were within this area during this time frame 2. are there cemetery readings available for them 3. is this area today within the National Forest 4. I would be trekking the area with another female researcher; is this a safe venture 5. I am aware of a courthouse fire during this same period; were ALL records lost or do wills, deeds and possibly newspapers available 5. where are detailed maps of the county designating secondary roads and cemeteries available Any and all suggestions and advice is welcomed.
