Dennis; Thank you so much for your help on this. I am at work, but when I get home tonight, I will pull the census and get it to you. I'm not sure this is the correct BLYTHE family that had the land, but they are old timers in Davis. SInce MAry Ann died in Davis, it can't be too far from there. I figure there is a possibility that this cemetery may be one that has been somewhat lost or not captured. . .or under water. ---- Original Message ---- From: mudman@cableone.net To: OKMURRAY-L@rootsweb.com, Subject: Re: [OKMURRAY] Dick BLYTHE, b1864 TN on 1930 Murray Co., Census Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2003 08:38:31 -0500 >Candace, >I had an idea.

I would be interested to find out more about who is buried on the BLYTHE property. Perhaps that is where JOHN ALEXANDER BRAWLEY is buried.

Candace, By Jove, I think I bloody well got it!!! There is a cemetery on the Healy Brothers Ranch that is sort of lost. Barbara Giddens and I went down the creek two years ago looking for this cemetery and we never found it. The ice storm had made it as dangerous as could be. There were dangling tree limbs overhead and swayed in the wind just trying to hit us in the head. We KNOW it is there but nobody will take us there. Many report to have seen it in the winter when the leaves have fallen. The cemetery is small and sits on a creek bottom. It is close to the old Dolese Brothers Rayford Quarry and just about in Skip Healey's front yard give or take a thousand acres. Bo Saunders who lives in Davis was a foreman for Dolese Bros. and has told me on many occasions that he has plainly seen the cemetery, in the winter, on the west side of the creek. This is the only cemetery in Allen TWP that I have not been able to find. This has to be Walnut Cemetery, just has to be. This cemetery is about 4 miles south of Davis! It is the one I referred to as "The Hampton Graves" since it has no name. Allen Twp. is the area between Davis and Dougherty. The only other cemetery in Allen Twp. is the James Cemetery and it is a black cemetery and online. This morning after I sent the email about a new plan of attack, I called the 90 year old lady in Davis and asked her if she remembered the Blythe family. She told me the g-granddaughter of Dick worked at a gift shop in Davis so I made contact with her. I made a run to Ardmore today to pick up a load of paint and stopped in Davis and talked to the g-grand daughter of Dick Blythe himself. I also found out that Dick Blythe lived one block south of the red light in Davis across the street west from the First Baptist Church and the house is still there. How 'bout them apples! The granddaughter told me he did not own a farm south of Davis, he only rented one. This is a lot of stuff for now but I believe that the cemetery that I have been calling the "Hampton graves" for 3 years may very well be the Walnut Cemetery. Now I can get us within a 1/4 mile of it - all we have to do is wade through hip-deep rattlesnakes to find it!!! I'll keep you informed.
