GAINES/WILLIAM/BROWN/RICHARDSON
John A. Gaines is trying to find grave markers for some of his ancestors. The markers were put in around 1990. Their deaths were around the time of the Civil War. During the 1863 Massacre, they were unarmed civilians. He is trying to locate grave markers for James Harvey Gaines, Mary Elizabeth Sanders, William Ellison Brown and Margaret A. Richardson. John thinks they might all be together, but not sure which county they are in. Can you assist us or direct us to someone that can?
RUST/BLESSING
are there any photos of the Rust(John C. & Eliza) and Blessing(Bedford C.) family homes in Pelham? Would someone be able to take digital photos of them? They were supposedly across the road from each other in 1900 and still standing in 2007. Any information you provide would be greatly appreciated.
