Bruce Paul,

Thanks for the information. I'm not sure what the book meant when it said
it was located on the Locust Level. I'm also not sure if this is a private
cemetery or what it is. The book is vague to say the least but I sure would
like to know where it is so I can visit it this Spring. On your drive this
week-end perhaps you could keep a sharp eye out for an old, overgrown
cemetery. Take your digital with you. Virginia had my BUFORD family
running all over the state from the mid 1600's through the 1800's and this
is the first time I have heard of a Buford Cemetery.

Have a great week-end, Fern K. Buford Walker
Author of the 3rd Buford Book
