one more quick question, the volume listing you referred to, in regards to the Whiteheads, etc. what is the date of that listing, do you know? Was wondering...thanks for anything you can find on this cemetary, it seems someone should have a historical account of how it came to be, etc. There are many Hyders buried there, and a few Naves, I have spoken to a Mr. Nave who researched alot of his family, he is the one who suspected a link of the families by trade, we know Robert Lusk recieved land grant due to being a supplier during the Revolutionary war..black powder was his trade listed, hence the name Powder Branch Road, etc. Hyders and Lusks did not marry, but Lusks and Pattons did, Hyder married a Nave, if I recall. These families were all very close back in the 1770's..
