Julie, The Van Alstyne cemetery in on the border of the town of Van Alstyne. The county line runs right in that area so I have found a cemetery listing in the past, listing the cemetery as being in Collin Co although Van Alstyne is in Grayson Co. The library in town has a very helpful staff, who willingly help you with family histories but they are unable to make copies of their newspaper articles on microfilm at this time. Have fun and let me know how it turns out. As you know Martha Vaughn and Thomas Newton Wall were cousins as they were both grandchildren of Joshua Wall.
