Hi Lynn, Jim's cousin married a Gibson from the Sandy Ridge Gibsons. While we are down there this weekend, I'll try to go by and show her your info and see if she can shed any light on your line. She is in her 70's, so would know a lot about that area. Jim also has relatives buried in the Edwards Cemetery. There is also another Edwards cemetery located on Sandy Ridge, the Calvin Edwards Cemetery (isn't that name right Ganell?). Jim and I have documented all the graves in that one, but not the one called The Edwards Cemetery. That is a larger project and we haven't had the time to do it yet. We are trying to document the headstones in cemeteries in the Sandy Ridge area, as time permits. Perhaps we can do that one in Sept. when we spend a week down there. 'til later, Phyllis Morefield [email protected] ICQ # 3285456 Listowner: [email protected] [email protected] Second Union: A Melungeon Gathering will be held July 9-12, 1998.
