    2. Thank you Betty for supplying the name of the cemetary on Crane's Nest Run. And thank you for letting me know my postings have helped. This is why l do this. Of course l do have some family in each of the cemetaries l do, as well as the marriages. <G> Alot of people are unable to have access to info from different areas, and l have found alot of the websites don't supply enough info. This is especially important to those who are just starting genealogy of their family. Of course you can't solely depend on the internet, but it is essential to many. I know alot of people who are homebound and are unable to go out to research. One name, one date or one place can open a whole new line of family. I wasn't sure how the lists would feel, about putting the info out, but no one has complained, so l guess, it's okay. <G> My purpose is, solely to help others as l do my own research. I look forward to more of YOUR stories. I really enjoy them. Thanks again, Barb Researching Sims, Sheppard, Sommerville, Collins, Waggoner, and Hupp.

    3. I'm another one that is thrilled that Barbara has done such a wonderful job of gathering and sharing this information. It's been a big help in updating my family records. Re: "This cemetery is not named. Grace Road (Off Rt.14) is the last road on the right before entering Reedy, Wv. Then take a right onto Crane's Nest Run." My family has always referred to this cemetery as the "Fox Cemetery" . (My aunt, Evelyn Dotson Newlon, was buried there in 1995). Her husband, Jarrett "Jerry" Newlon descends from the Foxes, and I "think" this cemetery is located on (or at least near) his farm. His parents are Ethel and George "Bash" Newlon also buried there.
