I also don't see it listed anywhere as an ashe County Cemetery, but maybe I'm overlooking something. IS there a Lewis Cemetery in either Ashe or in Grayson? If so, which place? And does anyone know if there are any Littles in it? The particular cemetery I'm talking about has more stones reading "Little" than those reading "Lewis." I'd be happy to share the photos (names, dates, etc.) from there with anyone who is interested in it. Many thanks in advance! Chrissie Chrissie It is in grayson County but only accessible from Ashe.

Jeff, is this the same cemetery that is listed as A21 on this page of yours? http://members.aol.com/jweaver301/nc/anccwg-l.htm See, I told you that you're brilliant! ;-) Chrissie On 12/13/06, Jweaver300@aol.com <Jweaver300@aol.com> wrote: > > In a message dated 12/13/2006 5:23:15 PM Eastern Standard Time, > climbingthehashfamilytree@gmail.com writes: > Okay, I have been to a specific cemetery numerous times.
