Thank you, Vanessa. You've confirmed what I've been told, when I was recently contacted by a Haycraft member. He gave me this information, which I am thankful for, from the both of you. He also told me that her parents are buried in the John S. Haycraft cemetery, but as myself, he is searching for her final resting place. Perhaps in the Haycraft cem with her family? or with her husband, Andrew?
I thought that Rosannah Perkins (Andrew's first wife) and Idella Haycraft (his second wife) would have been buried in the same cemetery and near where he was planning to be buried, also. I am now told, by two other people, that he is recorded as buried in the Powell Burial Grounds and also recorded in the Smith Cemetery. Are these two cemeteries one and the same? I have also found a listing, for an Andrew in the St. Augustine Cem, noted as a Civil War veteran (Andrew was in the CW) on Findagrave.com; which I wondered, originally, if his first two wives may be buried nearby.
The Powell Burial Ground sounds as if it may be right, as Powell was the maiden name of Andrew's sister in law, wife of Larkin.
Your input is welcome.
