F. Craig Hello, I know it has been awhile since I've been in touch, but I stumbled onto something that may interest you. I was answering an inquiry for Green Mount and saw "Ann Craig" in a list of graves that are nearly all, if not all, unmarked. The entry is vague. It is for a "removal" which means a grave brought into or "removed to" Green Mount. The term is misleading because most would read it as one taken out of Green Mount, but in nearly all cases it actually means one brought to Green Mount. The date of November 1892 is listed for removal as well as death, but I'm quite certain that it is an inaccurate death date, the recorder just filled the removal date in to that field as well. This may be a record for your Ann Craig being removed from Hookstown to Green Mount. You can see the others in the list with her, but none appear to be connected. It is mostly single graves. The family may have decided to transfer her to Green Mount for some reason. What do you think? I'm sorry it ha! s taken so long to find a record like this, these records are not indexed yet. I am working at them, but everything is gradual. Let me know what you think. I doubt that I'll find much more in our records, but this is something at least.
