Hello Jimmie, It looks as if you have about all the information you would use off a death certificate already. Apparently, the ROARK family lived very close to the Ky. State line, and I am almost positive I have been to that cemetery before. Is it found north of Green Valley off Puncheon Creek? I don't have any doubt that what is now called the Stinson-Roark Cemetery is what was once called the Roark Cemetery. I have seen where cemeteries have changed names too many times to question this. Have you discovered where the home place was yet? I will keep an eye out for more information on the EAST and LEE families of Macon County. Perhaps another member of the ROOTWALKER family has more information to share with you. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. Sincerely, Stan Magnesen ROOTWALKER site/list coordinator ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a message dated 4/24/01 6:23:44 AM Pacific Daylight Time, meadors@stonemedia.com writes: > Subj: Re: [ROOTWALKER] SURNAMES: East and Lee > Date: 4/24/01 6:23:44 AM Pacific Daylight Time > From: meadors@stonemedia.com (Charles and Jimmie) > Reply-to: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > To: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > > Hello Stan, > > No, I don't have a death certificate for Sina East Roark.
