Well, I got a thank you from my distant cousin for all the information but she didn't mention the graveyard so I don't know if she knew about it already.
I also tried to trace my grandfather's roots into Scotland but there are so many people with the same name as that one ancestor that I would still be there looking for them tomorrow LOL. I did confirm the Irish, German, and English roots as well...I think I mentioned sometime back thatI was a mutt!
My cousin also sent me this poem her father wrote and I thought I'd share it with Y'all (hey I can say Y'all, I'm a Clampett! LOL)
While I sit here penning rhyme
My mind flees back to the good ol’ time
When our families were joined by hands
In a little section of these mighty lands.
Now we are parted and each in his place
Trying to keep up with the hectic pace
We live the lives that are selected for us
The Almighty has chosen, it is ever thus.
And out of the depths of me come a boundless emotion
That fills me completely with a sacred Devotion
And makes me very proud to be
An insignificant twig on a family tree.
