Please, Please read this. My great grandfather, John Scott Lynn, is buried in a very small cemetery west of Brunswick on the Old Brownsville Road near Ellendale. I visited this grave site 25 years ago and it had a modern stone for John Scott Lynn and was enclosed with a chain link fence among a few trees (pine as I recall). My grandfather, Joseph Lynn, son of John Scott Lynn place a new stone marker there around 1960 and had the fence built to protect the site. Three weeks ago I went to Shelby County to visit the grave site again. To my dismay I could not fine the grave site. I am afraid that developers in the area have destroyed this grave site, but I am not sure. The appearance of things is much different after 25 years. The grave site was located on the north side and back from the Old Brownville Road about 50 yards, as I remember, and a few yard south of a remnant of an old roadbed which was a part of sharp curve in the Old Brownsville Road many years ago. I remember a relative new sweeping curve in the road at the site with the grave site between the new road and the old roadbed. Can anyone tell me if there is a record in Shelby County of grave sites such as this? Would the destruction or removal of a grave site be recorded or approved by some authority? If so, who would it be? I feel that I must find the grave or find out what has happened to it for the sake of all his descendants, none which currently live in Shelby County. Any suggestions and help would be appreciated. If anyone has access to possible records of this small grave site, I would appreciate hearing from them.
