I don't know if this will help or not. This Book with the cemeteries I have on film gives the longitude and latitude of the cemetery. So here are the coordinates for Big Creek Baptist: 82 degrees 26 minutes west longitude and 34 degrees 36 minutes north latitude. I think these measurements appear on maps and this might place you near Vandiver, etc. Ceal Atlanta ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kim Wilson" <kimwilson@mail.utexas.edu> To: <SCANDERS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, March 09, 2001 11:15 PM Subject: [SCANDERS] Caesar, black preacher of Big Creek > Vandiver, _History of Anderson County_, p. 42: > "One of the negro members [of Big Creek Baptist church] named Caesar was > rather an unusual character.
