Lori, The cemetery I found does have the Hiett family in it, I have been to this place through the gates, but this time I came from the back pastures and fields and trees and scrub. I believe the property to the north my yield a cemetery, maybe. This is where the white house is, on the property of a Harold Larrick.

Izetta and group, I went out after work for an hour today looking for your cemetery and couldn't find it, so let me tell you of my adventure. I didn't talk with Gary Orndorff, but did talk to his wife, Robin. She had never been there, but she mentioned the neighbor in the trailer, so I went there, and the husband was at work, and the wife there didn't know where it was, all they did was point into the woods. I parked the truck at the end of the road, and headed through the barbed-wire fencing. After getting into the first field and briers and brambles. I walked up the left-hand middle side of the property and guess what I found, a cemetery, and guess which one? Not the McCauley. Which do you think? http://members.citynet.net/rwayne/hampco/hiettj.htm the John Hiett Cemetery next to the old log cabin on the John Whitacre farm. Then I headed around the cemetery to the left and walked east until I came to the fence on the far side of the cow pasture. Then back through more stickers and back to where I started. I kept walking and headed to the far west side of the field and came to as close to the woods as I could and followed and followed, and still nothing, this time I was by the old log cabin and the big read barn and cows. This time I walked past the log cabin and headed back and forth across the big field heading toward my truck. Still nothing. So I got in my truck and headed home, it was getting dark. Let me tell you of my conclusions. First, there are plenty of rocks and deer on the property. Did I mention stickers? Don't waste your time wandering the fields this weekend looking for the cemetery unless you wear yellow or orange or red. This is the first weekend for bow hunting. So if you go out, be careful. When you talked to Mr. Whitacre, where did he say the cemetery was in relation to where his house was (this is the place where the dog was tied up when we were driving through the cow pastures right?) I'm just curious if we are searching the wrong fields. To my knowledge there is no place that had two chimney, either fallen down or standing where I walked and I walked alot. I came to a maybe conclusion. Could the two chimney house you are looking be the old house that is by the John Hiett Cemetery? I know that you mentioned that the house had fallen down, or did you? The person that has the property to the east of the Whitacre place is 150+ acres with an old white house on it. Could this be the place to search???? That is it for now, lets email about this if you have the time, you ask question, I ask, you answer, I answer and maybe we can figure this out. My final conclusion for the day. NO MCCAULEY CEMETERY in the vicinity. Could it be east of the Whitacres. Wayne At 10:36 PM 10/7/2002 -0700, you wrote: >Wayne, >I don't know any thing about this cemetery.

I have reference (from Kerns: Historical Records of Old Frederick and Hampshire Counties) to an ancestor, Barbara Foltz Haines (wife of Jacob Haines), buried in 1899 on Mouser's Ridge (I believe that is near Slanesville). Any idea which cemetery that might be?? Nancy

I took photos of all the markers at the cemetery. Would you like to see them? Let me know.

Greetings One and All, I did a quick update tonight with the Emmart Cemetery. Added some dates and a little more information.

Greetings one and all, Today at work, I get customers that live in Hampshire Co. all the time. Today I talked to a gentleman that was familiar with Augusta. He told me of a cemetery, gave me directions to it, I put the directions in my pocket, and by the time I got home, I lost it. Maybe there is someone out there that can help me find this cemetery. He said to go left on the Ford Rd. toward Rio. Go past the Beery Cem. Make a left (forget the name of the road). He mentioned the property was on the land of ______and _______Arnold. THis is in Augusta somewhere. Any ideas. Sorry about being so vague.

I don't have a Calvin Wolford in my database, but I am wondering if Calvin is his middle name...and he was went by that. That is always confusing esp with stubborn ancestors. What I have on Abraham's son John is: 1. John WOLFORD, b. 1823 in West Virginia, (son of Abraham WOLFORD and Margaret SUMMERFIELD). He married Fatama SMITH, 14 Jan 1844 in Randolph County, West Virginia, b. 1816 in West Virginia/Virginia, (daughter of Charles SMITH and Hannah Susan CARR). Children: 2. i Susan WOLFORD, b. 1845 in Randolph County, West Virginia. 3. ii Elizabeth WOLFORD, b. 1847 in Randolph County, West Virginia. 4. iii Abraham WOLFORD b. Mar 1848. 5. iv Isaac T WOLFORD b. Oct 1850. 6. v Aaron WOLFORD b. 25 Oct 1854. 7. vi Eunice WOLFORD, b. 1855 in Randolph or Tucker County, West Virginia. 8. vii Polly WOLFORD, b. 1864 in Randolph or Tucker County, West Virginia. 9. viii Mary WOLFORD, b. 1867 in Randolph or Tucker County, West Virginia. As you can see, Calvin's birth date would fit in nicely. Have I seen him? Obviously not... Is he being stubborn on purpose? A lot of Wolfords do that. I think it's genetic. <G> Word of warning: there are a LOT of John Wolford's in WV. Counting JUST the Randolph/Tucker/Grant Wolfords from John Wolford b 1754, and going down 3 generations: there are nine. (We're not counting all the Hampshire County Wolfords because--fortunately--there's not a Dry Fork there that I know of.) Let me know if I can be of further help or if you want to trade copies of documents.

In Regard to the Chapter on Cemeteries, it doesn't say much about the names of cemeteries, except it mentions the Presbyterian and Indian Mound Cemeteries. It does mentions that there were other cemeteries but that thru time, war and neglect, stones are gone, names forgotten, and locations of some now unknown. I have tried to show some of the names mentioned that were buried in the Presbyterian cemetery and information on those persons if given. Some of what is said is: >From the book, History of Hampshire County (1897) by Maxwell and Swisher: ...."History repeats itself, even in the small thing of village graveyards. Romney a hundred years ago abandoned the cemetery it had buried it's first people. Perhaps the space was full. A new, larger and more beautifully situated cemetery was chosen, beginning near the southwestern street of the town, and rising toward the hill with a gentle slope. It was no doubt believed that this new field would furnish ample space for buying the village dead for centuries. But no cities increase in population more rapidly than the cities of the dead........The graveyard was full. A new one, a larger, must be found; for Romney still furnished people for "the narrow chambers in the halls of death." The old abandoned and neglected cemetery at the foot of the hill is a melancholy picture. The hand of time has been laid heavily upon it, and it's beauty has departed, save that beauty which a pensive fancy can see in ruin and desolation, especially when so intimately associated with the dead. Heavy foundations, covered with grass which hides the wreck of masonry, mark the site of the church, which ceased to be used more than a quarter of a century ago." Regarding the Presbyterian Cemetery and names [spelled as they are in the book] of those buried there: "The first elder of the church, William Naylor, was among the first to be buried there. Another elder, John McDowell is buried there, he was son in law of Andrew Wodrow. Also asleep is Andrew Wodrow, a Scotchman by birth, a gentlemen by nature, a scholar above the average of his time. His son, Craig Wodrow also rests in the cemetery. A large marble slab, whose broken fragments are half buried in grass, was over the grave of William Sherrad, who died at St. Augustine, FL, who was brought home that he might be buried where his friends could visit his grave. The wife of J. B. Sherrad and two wives of David Gibson, the wife of John W. Marshall; Dr. Robert Newman; Nathaniel Kuykendall; Peter Peters; Joseph Combs; Eli Davis, the old jailer who faithfully performed the unpleasant duty of locking doors between unfortunates and freedom, but who himself finally entered the narrow cell whose door will never be unlocked until the graves give up their dead. The old tavern keeper, Steinbeck........Death levels all. Even the old, faithful slave, known only by the name of Mammy Betsy......."All that live shall share thy destiny." A willow tree once waved over the graves of Mrs. McGuire, the mother of the second wife of William Naylor and the mother of Samuel McGuire, clerk of Hampshire Co., in 1815. Not far distance is the grave of Mary, wife of William S. Naylor, daughter of Mrs. Sarah Davis, who is buried beside her. Miss Charity Johnson; Dr. Dyer; Jacob Heiskell, Samuel Heiskell, Adam Heiskell and Elizabeth the daughter of Christopher Heiskell. Mrs. Fitzgerald; Chichester Tapscott; his sister, Mrs. White; a stranger only known as Wood; Elizabeth Evans, an outcast, an inebriate, welcomed to nobody's home while living. Mr. and Mrs. David Griffith and Mrs. Catherine Cookus; John Baker White and wife; J. P. Kercheval, grandson of historian Samuel Kercheval. Adam Heiskell, one of the first of that name to come to Hampshire, lives undisturbed. A grand niece of Lord Fairfax is among the dead. The grave of an insane man, but no marker. Thomas Ragland, lawyer; James Dailey, banker; George Porterfield; William Mulledy, b. 1796 of poor parents, without an introduction to men in high places, he pushed into the great battle of life. When the old cemetery became filled, a few years prior to the civil war, the ground for a new one was procured, large enough to meet the requirements of the people of Romney for a few generations. It is on a promontory, naturally sterile and barren, which juts out over the wide South Branch Valley.....The Indians recognized this when they buried their dead there."
