    1. Re: Boulder Hollow, Va. (east of Elkton) 4 small cemeteries
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Hansbrough, Wood, Davis, Shifflett Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5BC.2ACI/1538.1.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Hi, The first cemetery that you mentioned is on Gordon Wood's property and his daughter lives right beside of the homeplace and you might stop there and ask permission to look at the cemetery and they will probably let you go up. It is directly behind the homeplace on the hill. Gordon was married to my grandmother's niece Lilly Hansbrough. Also the cemetery that you mentioned up behind the old barn is referred to as the Jack Baugher Cemetery. My great grandparents Morias Jordan and Sarah Crawford Hansbrough are buried there. My husband and I along with Gordon Wood and members of his family and Ray, Paul John, George and Eugene Hansbrough cleaned up that cemetery back in April of 1993. We collected money from Jordan and Sarah's descendants and purchased a headstone which Ray Hansbrough and Delbert Wood had placed on their grave prior to our cleaning it up. I have not been back since so I do not know what kind of shape it is in. There was some family members who lived in t! he area that were going to try to keep up with it. I am not sure who owns the property but Delbert Wood who also lives on the Sandy Bottom Road knows the owner and got us permission. The Jack Baugher cemetery is listed on the Cemetery Project on the Rockingham Co. Virginia website. Hope this information is helpful. Cathy
