I believe the cemetery my brother found is indeed a different one than this. He stated that there were 4 headstones, in good shape, and legible. On the Mont. Co. web site, it states that the names below are written on four sides of one large monument. There was no such monument in the one on my brother's property. The census records indicate that there were quite a few Northingtons living in the Port Royal area. The one mentioned below is probably on someone else's property. > [Original Message] > From: Cleo Hogan <cdmhogan@usit.net> > To: <TNMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com> > Date: 11/24/2003 10:11:48 PM > Subject: Re: [TNMONTGO-L] Henry Northington Cemetery (1822); Felix Northington Cem (1850) > > Frances, we have about 4 Northington cemeteries in Montgomery; these are > different ones!
