I just want to thank you for your email warning of errors in the Cemetery Survey and adding that errors are COMMON in all transcriptions. I've found them over and over in almost every book that has transcribed records. Ususally it's just a matter of transposed digits in years but sometimes more serious -- in the Index for the Book of the Dead for Anderson County, some "helpful" soul thought they were correcting the author's spelling of Crayton. They assumed that it should be CLAYTON. It isn't. The family name IS Crayton. Anyway, anyone using transcribed records should be aware that they are not 100% reliable.
