Dear Ed, Thank you for your reply to my e-mail. Yes, I am aware of the location of Greenville. I believe that my great great grandparents, David Hinton and Anna Barbary Maddy Hinton are buried at Greenville. I am not sure of their church membership - it may have been Baptist. By any chance, have you seen any early era (1800-1830) property maps for the Greenville vicinity? Do you know where I might be able to access such a property map? I have quite a few property deed records for my family in Monroe County; however, I do not have any property (location) maps.
