Hello Jimmie, Do the following names have any significance to you? 1. Sgt. L. W. MASSEY Co. A. 9th Ky Inf. 2. Wife of Sergt. Leonard W. MASSEY Co. A. 9th Ky Inf. 3. Ambrose Manion Born Oct. 18, 1786 Died May 24, 1837 These graves are located on Puncheon Camp Creek in the old cemetery I mentioned in a previous email. I believe this cemetery is possibly located on the site of the old Puncheon Camp Baptist Church, but have not yet been able to prove or disprove my theory. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family.

Stan, No, I'm not familiar with the names you listed in your message below. I've heard of the cemetery that you are probably speaking of, but I've never seen a listing of people who are buried there.
