My question is.. was there a special cemetery these individuals would have been buried in if they died and where would one write to find out if any other information could be obtained ?? It looks like it could have been the County Poor House.. Thanks Kathy KBernardi1@aol.com ==== TNDAVIDS Mailing List ==== TNGenWeb's Davidson County Page http://www.rootsweb.com/~tndavids/nashgene.htm
