You're mostly correct about the folks who are buried in the Strother Mitchell cemetery. There are folks buried there who were not related, by blood or marriage, anyway, to these two fine families. The PARKERs, Claude Parker and Floyd Smith Parker, as an example, lived and worked on the property of the Mitchells. My grandfather, Orval Parker, was born on the Mitchell's farm. Floyd Smith Parker's mother, Jeff GRUBBS SMITH SHERRILL, is also buried there. The folks who now own the property where the cemetery is located have recently made it difficult to get back to the cemetery and do any work - a shame. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Relieruter@aol.com> To: <TNSUMNER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2001 12:27 AM Subject: [TNSUMNER] Strother Family > Hello all Strother reseachers, > > I need your help! > > My gg-grandmother F.
