My great grandfather, Enoch Fisher, married Caroline Null. They had one child. Caroline died shortly thereafter. Their daughter, I think was raised by the grandparents. Her name was Mary Ann Frances Fisher and she was born 4 May 1855. Would like to find out what happened to her. Enoch Fisher went on to marry two more times. My connection it through him and not the Null family though.

That was a good story and the N.C. Pope was Nathan Campbell POPE who was nephew to my ggrandmother ( he was descended from Calvin POPE/Silas POPE/Phillip POPE.) He recovered from his wounds and returned home to marry Frances Ann Denton on 21 Sept 1865 and lived until 1911. I visited his grave in the Pope Cemetery on Hwy 70 about 7 miles west of Carthage on Popes Hill. I have his birth year as 1845. Does anyone have his day of birth? Thanks for that story, and thanks to John Waggoner for his input. Jeanne Dark

Jan, Near the intersection of Upper Ferry Rd and the bypass there is a new Chamber of Commerce building. Turn on the road across the street and follow it pass the apartments and office building- the road then turns to gravel and goes under the bridge. Continue approx tenth of a mile and a gravel road turns to left - follow this for approx 100 yards into the field and you will be at the William Walton Cemetery. It is usually mowed and nicely kept. JW

Does anyone know how to get to William Walton's grave site at the Upper Ferry? Thanks, Jan Safavi
