Joel, Thanks for tips, Mary's middle name, and the lesson in phrasing questions carefully. So let me rephrase the question, does anyone know which cemetery in Marlboro Co., SC Margaret Adams Pate is buried? I was hoping someone might 'know' so I could narrow the search field in Marlboro county cotton fields this Labor Day weekend. On August 21 I spent an hour in each of five cemeteries there, hence the reason for the posting. The net result was the graves of Harris and his second and third wives and a twenty month old daughter. Actually, Harris Pate and his families must have lived closer to Boykin than they did Adamsville. Though enumerated in the Adamsville District the burial site is a number of miles from Adamsville and further still from those of his brothers and sisters. It is unlikely, in 1904 (death of Harris Pate), or 1882 (death of Mary F.), that they would have been carried far from the homestead for burial. Guess I need to do some deed research to narrow that down further. I'll post my findings, if any, after my journey. --Joe -- ------------------ Joseph 'Joe' Scarborough http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jhscarborough http://home.earthlink.net/~jhscarborough/ancestry/

Joe I would estimate that there are about 150 burial sites in Marlboro Co SC with grave markers. About half have been surveyed and the inventories are on line. Go to http://www.usgenweb.org/ Click on South Carolina Click on Marlboro Click on Cemeteries "A-H" etc I can tell you that I have "mined" this resource and did not find Margaret Adams Pate. However, there are cemeteries named for the Adams Family. The other however- these list are being updated frequently. Do as much "cemetery walking" as you can with your keyboard and mouse.
