Hi Jim
Welcome aboard. Thanks for the input. Last year was the first time I had
been to the cemetery that you mention.
The cemetery that Rick is wanting to go to is a different one. He came last
year and I went with him to The Old Jeffery and to the Mt Olive Cemetery and
then to the Old Mt. Olive.
This Cemetery is further down the river somewhere and Jane Mason Jeffery is
buried there. I guess as a Jeffery descendent you know the story of why she
was not buried in the cemetery with her husband Jehoiada.
A Jeffery descended said he could show Rick where it is. I don't think a
road goes to it.
He had told me last year how to get to the other cemetery we went to but
didn't think he could tell us how to get to this one.
Are you connected to the Tanner's in the Wiseman area?
Betty BB
