Hello Phyllis, Its great that you have gotten the teenagers so interested in their family trees and the cemeteries. I believe it should start young...thank you. My question is, my great grandparents (Willis and Louranie Vance Lucas) and other relations are buried in the Maynard Cemetery at the bend of the river on Sand Creek Rd, Lincoln Co....do you know of anyone of your students who may have done a complete listing of all those buried in that cemetery? Many of the graves are marked with "Witness Stones," and I was told that my other great grand parents, Ulysses Grant Nelson and Matilda Dalton Nelson were buried in that cemetery, as also maybe Ulysses' mother, Matilda Maynard Nelson (b. 1832, d. 1912)..... But according to Ulysses Nelson's death certificate in Logan Co., it was listed that he was buried in the "Nelson Cemetery"....and during the 1930's Ulysses Nelson and his second wife Loucinda "Grandmaw Lovey" Price Wallace Nelson had been living on Hamilton Creek, Gill, Lincoln Co., WV....and supposedly, there was a branch named 'Ulysses Nelson Branch' or 'Nelson Branch.' Earl Hager of Chapmanville remembers this and has told me he will ride with me to Hamilton Creek to show me where the Nelson's all lived....but there is an ARNOLD/NELSON Family cemetery at the top of the ridge up the left hand fork of the Hamilton Creek, and requires a four wheel drive vehicle or four wheeler to get there. Ulysses' oldest brother Allen Nelson b. 1849 d. 1940 and his wives are buried in this cemetery, as well as, many of his 23 children and descendants. They buried Allen Nelson's youngest daughter Kathleen Nelson Estep in Dec 2004...she was b. 1914. Anyway, are you familiar with any NELSON cemeteries on Sand Creek Rd....and what was known as Buck Lick Creek? Though I do suspect Ulysses and his first wife, my great grandmother Matilda Dalton Nelson were buried on Hamilton Creek/Gill, as Matilda Dalton Nelson died in 1911.... and in the 1910 Lincoln Co., WV cencus Ulysses G. and Matilda J. Nelson (vist #80/80) were listed in Laurel Hill District. Linza (Linzy) age 14, Allen age 12, Wm. M(cKinnley) aka Little Bill Nelson, age 10; Ward, Josie (my grandmother), Matilda (Ulysses' mother age 82, widow of Farmer); John M. Mainord, nephew, age 14. (Do not know parents). AND, can you get me in touch with anyone that does DALTON genealogy, specifically the descendants of JOHN DALTON and MINERVA FARLEY (d/o John Clay FARLEY and Rebecca ELKINS) parents of Matilda J. Dalton Nelson, (b. 1876, d. 1911 of TB)? Any leads would be great, Thanks, Sandi Chapmanville --- Harts High School <hartshighschool@yahoo.com> wrote: > One of my students brought in a nice Workman > cemetery located up Francis Creek toward Penn Coal > in Lincoln Co.
