Dodie, Thanks! I have moved the Shade Smith and Moses Workman Cemetery from Lincoln County to Logan County. I am not sure how I moved it from Logan County to Lincoln County but it was certainly easy to move it back. Parts of Tazewell County became McDowell County as well as Logan County. Many of the Workmans were in Tazewell County. Moses Workman age 65 appears in the 1870 Sandy River Twp., McDowell County, West Virginia census with wife Mary age 45. They had no children listed. http://persi.heritagequestonline.com/hqoweb/library/do/census/results/image? surname=Workman&series=9&state=29&countyid=1721&hitcount=2&p=1&urn=urn%3Apro quest%3AUS%3Bcensus%3B2367535%3B-1%3B9%3B29&searchtype=1&offset=1&threadtype =p I apologize if this is the wrong Moses Workman. Do you know where Moses Workman, Jr. died and where he is buried?

I think I know where my parents and grand parents and even my great grandparents are buried! Stan Browning has now moved all of my Workman family's land (therefore their graves as well) to Lincoln County. At one time nearly all of BIG Harts Creek in Logan County was called Whirlwind. I know this for a fact because I was born there and my mother was one of the Post "Masters" at Whirlwind (Harts Creek). After the Whirlwind Post office was discontinued, mail went to Harts (Lincoln County). None of my ancestors ever lived in Lincoln County and none are buried there.

Joel, you might want to move the grave of my dad Paris Smith back to Logan County also. I am very well aware that there were Workman's in Tazewell County. That is where my Workman family lived (as well as Lawrence Co KY for awhile) before moving permanently to Logan County. Yes, I do know where Moses Workman Jr (also SR) are buried. They are all buried in the family cemetery on Bulwork Fork of Harts Creek in LOGAN COUNTY. I used to have pictures of the cemetery (taken by my deceased husband) on my Logan County Ancestors website, but after you and others stole my work and published it elsewhere without permission, I removed my Workman (and other Logan County ancestors) and cemetery pictures from the Internet. The Moses Workman in McDowell Co (married to Mary Blankenship) is NOT son of Moses (Sr) and Elizabeth Muncy. They had no son named Moses. For the life of me, I can't understand why so many (mostly men) are so interested in families that are not theirs. Well yes, as a family therapist, I can understand it, but as a "Harts Creeker" My attitude is, "I won't mess around in your family's business and would appreciate it if you keep your noses out of my family's business". Perhaps some of the "wonderful ladies" helping Jim Burgess with his LDS "Kingdom Building" will consider that statement "mean" but that is how I was "raised" (reared) in Logan County by my Harts Creek parents and grandparents- to mind my own business and to stand up for my rights.
