    3. Doris, I bought the book through the Tazewell County Historical Society. It doesn't list any of the the surnames you mentioned except Harrison. There is a Howery-Harrison Cemetery located in Maiden Spring Creek near Thompson Valley. The oldest Harrison appears to be Thomas Harrison b. 25 Feb 1855 d. 10 Apr 1942, Martha A.F. Harrison b. 10 Oct 1856 d. 30 Mar 1929. Other Harrison's listed in the book, but not necesssarly in this cemetery are: Columbus Harvey, Eleanor, Glenn Effler, Hannah, James, James P., Col Joseph H., Julian Virginia, Martha A. Mose B., Nancy, Two other Thomas & a Thomas W. If you want further information on any of these let me know. Keep in mind that most of the cemeteries listed in this book are very old and most say that several of the stones are sunk or no markers at all. Betty -----Original Message----- From: C.
