Miles Abernathy and Nancy Bumgarner were my 5th great grandparents. I don't
have burial dates but I do have dates of death. Miles died 27 April 1877
and Nancy died 19 May 1872. Hope that helps. If someone has burial dates I
would also be interested. I don't have complete information on the family
but I'm willing to share what I do have.

> This past weekend when I visited with my folks in Maiden, my mother gave
me a picture of the family of John Sidney and Emma Sherrill Abernathy. They
were the parents of my grandfather Gorman B. Abernathy. Thanks to the web, I
have got a good handle on those ancestors back to Robert and Sarah
Abernathy. There is a couple questions. I found the grave of Seth Abernathy
(wife was Mary "Polly" Cline) at Mt. Ruhama. He would have been grandpa
"Sid's" great-great grandfather. It had a fairly new tombstone so I know
there are descendants that are taking care of it.Does any know who keeps his
grave up?

> One record that I found had that John P. and Yarmetty Harris Abernathy
were also buried there but I could not find a grave. Another said that they
were buried at Center View. (They were my great-great grandparents.) I
could not find the grave of Miles and his wife Nancy Bumgarner either which
the same record said they were buried at Mt. Ruhama. Anyone have any
information on any of them?

have a good tree on The Lails but I have very little on the Jarrett's. My
grandmother's parent's were Edward N. and Willie Sigmon Jarrett. That's as
far as I can go. Any info on their ancestors would be appreciated.

there since 1971. My interest has been stirred up by the picture of grandpa
Sid and grandma Emma. So I am new at this and just starting to dig for info.
