    1. St. Bart's Church/cemetery
    2. Hi all; Does anyone know if St. Bart's has a written history and if so, how it can be obtained? Also, how can I get a plot grid of the cemetery? I have a relative, Susan Plummer, husband Abram Plummer, listed in an obit as being buried there but she is not on the rootsweb cemetery listing. Thanks, Jan
