Re: McAdams Cemetery I was told last spring when I went to visit family plot in Lincoln County that you really don't need permission to go to your family plot--even though it is on someone else's property. I have not checked this out and think it is the safest policy to ask for permission, but I believe there is either a state or national law that you have the right to go onto land to a family plot. This might need to be checked out and brought to the attention of person who is uncooperative about old family cemetery.
