I don't know if you remember but I believe we have corresponded before. We seem to be researching all around each other. I think it's been a few years. Someday I think we may find we are in fact related. In answer to Sherrod's Chapel, I have been back to Muskingum County researching several times. From what I understand, there is a list which was constructed in the 1930's or so (I am away from my home at the moment & trying to do this from memory). It seems it is the only list available on the cemetery from anyone. I have spoken to many people including township officials in charge of the cemetery. They all tell me this is the only list they know of. No one seems to know what happened to the church records or any original records. Therefore, the list is incomplete as they constructed it from headstones (that happened to be left standing at the time) and also family records which happened to be available at the time. I do have a copy of that l! ist (at my home). I would be happy to share it with you as soon as I can. There are quite a few Lanes on it. But many that I am certain are buried there are not listed. I also visited the cemetery myself. It makes me very sad to see the condition it is in. It has been vandalized badly over the years and neglected. Many stones missing and badly damaged. Looks like it has been a party spot for teens (lots of beer cans etc.). It is located in a wildlife refuge way back in the woods. Quite a hike to get to. I found it a very sad, sad place since I know many of my kin are there. Let me know if you would like a copy of the list.
