    3. Ed, Thank you very much for the help! I live in the west and have not ever been to VA, so you have helped narrow my area to search. Do you know what cemetary would be closest to Boone's Run in the 1787? Thanks, Sandy Fye

    3. Sandy, Probably the closest church cemetary to Boone's Run in 1787 would be the old St. Peters Lutheran Church with Peaked Mountain a close second. Of course there were "family" cemetarys as well. It would be very rare to find an engraved marker pre 1800 in that part of the country. Graves were mostly marked with field stones at that time. The Harrisonburg -Rockingham Historical Society has done a remarkable job of cataloging and indexing cemetaries in Rockingham County. I am going to give you a link below that takes you to the Peaked Mountain Cemetary and from there you can click on the CEMETARY INDEX for others in Rockingham. I suggest you look at the St. Peters Lutheran Cuurch cemetary and any others that are located near "Runkles Gap" "Greenwood" or "East Point". I have g-grandparents buried at St. Peters with markers and suspect two generations back are buried there but there are just no identifying markers. Good luck in your search!
