    3. Thanks Jane, I found the book - FREDERICK COUNTY, VIRGINIA, DEED BOOK SERIES, By Amelia C. Gilreath I guess there is really nothing like this Series for Hampshire Co. Bill Bill, Take a look at the Willow Bend Books web site. They sell most of the abstracts that are still in print. Search the Willow Bend catalog by the name of the county you are interested in. http://willowbendbooks.com/ Jane At 12:35 PM 9/12/02, you wrote: >Good morning ! >Re: Hampshire/Frederick Co Deed book Abstracts. >Could someone tell me the name of the book and the author who abstracted >the Hampshire/Frederick Co.

    3. Greetings one and all. No real adventures for the past few days. Thanks to Izetta, I was able to add another cemetery to my website. I call it the Hiett (John) Family Cemetery. I haven't added it to the map program yet, since I haven't been to the cemetery yet. I have plans on goin on a field trip to this cemetery this weekend, and maybe hit another on, but don't know which one.

    3. Elaine, I think Wayne is doing a great job at finding these cemeteries.It would be great if a lot more people would have that kind of interest. Maybe we could find more of our ancestors. I know I am hoping that someday he will find where some of mine are buried. I thought the grass cutting reminder was cute also. I also like his stories that he tells about his adventures on hunting the cemeteries.

    3. Izetta, Thanks for the reply. The one closer to the house with the knocked over markers must be the original Evan Hiett Cemetery. Kerns said that the Joseph Hiett marker had been knocked down by livestock shortly after his 1987 visit and photo. If the cattle have been tramping over it for 15+ years, it may be broken into a few pieces by now and even buried under nature's debris. I hope that Wayne can do both cemeteries when you go there with him. By the way, I got a kick out of Wayne telling you to cut your grass a few months ago on the list. You're lucky to have had enough rain for the grass to grow. We in Cincinnati went from early June to mid-Aug with no rain. Elaine Izetta Barbour wrote: > Elaine, I do not have a Joseph Hiett listed.

    3. Elaine, I do not have a Joseph Hiett listed. There was a cemetery right close by the house that John lived in, and the markers had been knocked over. We did not try to inventory them as it was cold and they were froze to the ground. We were there a couple of different times.

    3. Looking at one of Dr. Kerns' photo taken in the Evan Hiett (1748-1815) Cemetery, it appears to be on pretty level ground, with Hiett's old log house in the background. This photo shows a fence between the cemetery; it is a wire, wide-square mesh type. Dr. Kerns visited the cemetery and took his photos in April 1987. Kerns published 4 photos of this graveyard (not 3 as I stated earlier), and the 4th one clearly puts it on a hillside. This section shows part of an old wooden fence (falling apart), possibly meeting the wire fence. Kerns did say that most of the grave markers are uninscribed stones, that the cemetery had not been maintained, and that cattle have knocked down most of the tombstones in the lower part of the graveyard. The Evan T. Hiett (1851-1925) that Izetta speaks of was the g-grandson of the first Evan Hiett (1748-1815). It sounds like what she saw could very well be THE Evan Hiett Cemetery. Izetta, in your inventory, do you have a stone for Joseph Hiett (1744-1860)? If so, then it is definitely the same cemetery. Kerns showed a photo of Joseph's stone, and it was quite legible. He wrote that the stone of Joseph (son of the first Evan) was located in the center of the graveyard and was in good condition until 1987 when cattle knocked it over, shortly after his visit. Another photo showed the broken tombstone (on the ground) of Rev. James A Cowgill (1818-1882). Gravestones lying on the ground untended for years often become covered with grass, leaves, soil, etc., and are missed unless one goes poking around.

Then we had to walk a short distance and it is located kinda like on the side of a little hill. I did take a picture of it but, not of each stone. I did an inventory and there is a Evan T Hiett buried there. He was born 1851 & died Feb 8,1925 In that cemetery I have 8 stones inventoried. I don't think any had fallen over at that time.

    2. Hello again, We talked to Mr. Whitacre's Daughter & she gave us Permission to access the property, Told us where the Cemetery was Warned us about The DOG & Snakes but we were unable to find due to its Degrated condtion. We found only the one Stone at the First Gate. According to his Daughter he is in a Nursing Home. I have spoken to Dr. Kerns several times he is Now aware of this. He was just as surprised as we were of not being able to locate the other stones. Dr. Kerns was very Suprised to hear That Mr. John Whitacre is still alive. "Their is also a Jonathan Hiett's Cemetery "its also called the Jerry Hiett Cemetery". Its Located on a High Ridge on the west side of North River between Pleasant Dale & North River Mills, this well Planned cemetery cannot be Located without the help of a Local guide". "Dr. Kerns" I hope this doesn't confuse y'all, we have a hard time keeping all the Gravesites straight as well, that why we ENJOY Wayne's sites so much, they helped us Find atleast 11 Cemetery's in 2 days. Thank you Wayne. Lori

    3. Apologies to all for the double posting re John Whitacre's death. My fingers took on a "mind of their own," and I didn't realize I had posted it the first time. Must be the heat--95ยบ here in Cincinnati.
