Andrew Lockhart was born in 1737 which could have made the county Orange, Augusta or Botetourt. Does any one have any Lockhart's in these counties.

I find online that there are several Gladecreek Cemetery listings in Botetourt County. There are 4 listings currently showing and then there is also an additional listing for the Old Glade Creek Cemetery. My ancestor is buried in the Old Glade Creek Cemetery. Can someone tell me the difference between these cemeteries if there is one? Notations online state that a large group of headstones in the Old Glade Creek Cemetery were found stacked in a corner in a cemetery reading in 1993. Can anyone tell me the condition of the Old Glade Creek cemetery today? I am looking for any information in regard to the John Haston buried in the Old Glade Creek Cemetery in Botetourt County, Va. including ancestors or descendants of the Haston/Hastin family of Botetourt County, Va.
