Here's another gen from Phyllis Harvey. I think I have an idea where this parcel is, at least a general idea. There is a Wilmer-Stinnett Cemetery at the base of Stinnett Mountain and this land was owned at one time by my grand-uncle, George Wilmer. I think it could be the same property or an adjoining one. Someone with a better handle on Amherst geography can say better than I. -----Original Message----- From: PHAR30@aol.com <PHAR30@aol.com> To: STINNETT-L@rootsweb.com <STINNETT-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, March 24, 2000 6:34 PM Subject: [STINNETT] Deed: Stinnett, Cornelius I'm on a roll!
