I had also come to the same conclusion. Unfortuntately, I just can't find my grandfather with his family. I know he was born in Russell County in 1868, and his parents were William and Nancy. Any suggestions? Thanks again for your help.

My ancestors are buried there too, I was told that the cemetery is so overgrown with brush and snakes, would be nice to know if the cemetery has been cleaned up. The Old Lebenon Cemetery has been called the Aldrich Cemetery, has anyone ever heard that? Karen(Gibson)Burdue
