I started picking figs in June on my property in Marshall this year, just "put up" 40 pints of preserves. Cooking is not my "thing" but these are hard to find in grocery stores. Back to "Gene"... I was in Ohio/Tennesee first of May and listed Springhill and McBride Cemeteries in Sardis, Henderson Co., TN. Some surnames (i.e. Perkins, McBride, Newman, Clark) migrating to Harrison County (related to my Jones families) buried there. If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to email the lists. I sent them to David Taylor, list owner of Henderson County. He was going to post them as soon as he had time. I haven't had time to check TN genweb site to see if they are online yet.
