My Sources:

• Bible Records

• Census Records

• Churches have always played a central role in any community and are an excellent source of information. Unfortunately some records & graveyards are better maintained than others. In some instances, old markers have disappeared (if they ever existed), some are so weathered as to be unreadible.
