For those who haven't been following the thread of inquiries, I had asked about the whereabouts of Harris (1825) Pate's first wife's grave. She was Margaret Adams, daughter of John P. & Julia NEWTON Adams, and all these individuals and allied families lived in Marlboro Co., SC near the town of Gibson, NC. The book Drake, Elizabeth C. Cemetery Records of Marlboro County, 2nd Edition was referenced utilizing the transcription available at http://www.rootsweb.com/~scmarlbo/marlboro_cem.html and later in print but to no avail. Undaunted, I returned to Marlboro Co., SC to physically search area cemeteries again for the second time in three weeks. Margaret ADAMS Pate is buried in a marked grave in the Newton Cemetery on the west side of Hwy. 385 north of Bennettsville, SC and south of the intersection of said highway and SC 79. She is buried with her mother, father, brothers, sister, and two children. The graves are clearly marked by their original stones in a neatly maintained plot, yet Margaret and one of her children escaped the transcription and therefore are not found in any documentation seen by this researcher. So let this be a lesson. Mining resources on the internet, or in print, is not conclusive evidence. The updated information about Harris' family can be found, along with sources at: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jhscarborough&id=I171 -- ------------------ Joseph Harris Scarborough http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jhscarborough http://home.earthlink.net/~jhscarborough/ancestry/
