Subject: BURIAL LISTS-2 MCNEIL CEMETERIES--FLOYD COUNTY

And one more--In 2016 my granddaughter, Alyssa George, restored an old McNeil Cemetery in Franklin County.  In her digging and prowling, she uncovered 2 stones that were not on record at Franklin County Hist Soc.  Her work and a  brochure she produced are on file at Franklin Co Hist Soc--Linda Stanley was director at that time.  Jacob McNeil/McNeal, our Revolutionary War ancestor, is buried there. It was a huge job for my gal--cemetery is way off beaten track, not accessible except by foot.  Lugging tools, chainsaws, quikrete, etc. for a mile+ through waist-high, tick-infested brush--I went with her a few times, as I knew (sort of) how to find it.  Do you have that list?

Best to you,

Clara Martin
