    3. Ann Lee Bussey, Checking the "1880 Hardin County Cemetery Census," it is exactly as Bill has copied it. However, in the comments section of the Cemetery Census, there is a note that Haran's gravestone reads: Haran Haynes, husband of Sarah. Her stone reads: Sarah Haynes, wife of Haran. This leaves no doubt about their identity. I have not seen the grave stones but suspect they are very hard to read. A 5 an 8 and a 3 can easily be confused. I have no doubt that they both read 1855 if that is how they should read. Bill there was no e-mail address for this lady. David ========== Bill Bill Darnell wrote: > Thank you for your compliment.
