    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2hB.2ACI/121.1.1 Message Board Post: The Specific Cemetery I need to locate is called the REED-NEIL-WEBB. Directions in the books Meigs Cemetery Book - 2 miles from Hiway 58 on old Ten Mile Rd. from the North intersection coming from Kingston. Cemetery is in poor condition with about 40 unmarked grave sites, 10 marked. Directions were stated that the cemetery was .02 mile off the left side of the road. There is also a WOOLSEY Cemetery a bit closer to the Kingston side, but not far. My husband could not locate either one, and talked to a couple who have lived in an older home they are renovating for over a year, and also a Mr. MASSEY, whose mother lives near the quarry on the Kingston side in an older home also. He owns much land out there, evidently lives in Knoxville now, but happened to have a group of Boy Scouts from there camping for the weekend on his land. Neither party were at all familiar with these sites. The only one I remember from a trek out to find the Barton McPHERSON properties some two or t! hree years ago, was a gated rd. with a "No Trespassing "sign, giving a name to call. The name is no longer there either. J. WAS told that there are a couple of cemeteries in that same area, but on the opposite side of the rd. and back near wooded area, that are not marked on the map. The person for whom I am trying to find and take picture of g. grandmother's grave, came up about a year ago, with his father and his son - had no luck locating either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The specific stone is that of Lydia MOON JONES, 1809 - 1850, which has a beautiful verse enscribed on it. I hope to head out that way again in a week or so. Figure most of the snakes have, or will, be in a hole somewhere - one less worry - especially since the description of the cemetery was indicating lack of care.
