A few more photos of Gray Cemetery in Madison, Alabama.

I'm working on compiling a brief description/history of Gray Cemetery and possibly Betts Cemetery in Madison, Alabama. I learned today that Gray and Betts are not the same. In fact, several USGS maps mistakenly label Gray Cemetery as Betts Cemetery (both in Madison, Alabama). The cemeteries are near each other, but there isn't much left of Betts. I found this information in two sources: "Cemeteries of Madison County..." by Dorothy Scott Johnson and "Old Small Madison-Area Cemeteries" by Rankin and Keel. My compilation will derive heavily from these two sources.

Here's my "permanent" Flickr link in case you're interested.... I haven't decided if I'll ultimately use Flickr, Picasa Web Albums, or something else.

This a photo of Margaret A. Maxwell's gravestone in Gray Cemetery in Madison, Alabama.

This is a photo of John W. Blackburn's gravestone in Gray Cemetery. I'll likely post an image a day (or few days) until I've shared most/all of my photos from here.

A View of Gray Cemetery in Madison, Madison County, Alabama

Here's a recent photo of the Gray Cemetery in Madison, Alabama. This cemetery is jointly named after the family of William Gray (and others). The Betts Spring is nearby. William Gray, whose burial location is unknown (at least to me), was a US Revolutionary War soldier from Virginia. Anyway, I thought that descendants may find this information valuable....

I just started a Flickr photostream that documents my photos of Gray Cemetery in Madison, Madison County, Alabama. This cemetery is important, in part, because at least one US Revolutionary War soldier (William Gray) is buried there. Unfortunately, the cemetery is not in tremendously good shape. I have more photos to post when I find the time....

I plan to soon post an amateur survey (mine) of Gray Cemetery in Madison, Alabama.

Checkout findagrave.com if you'd like more information on folks such as John W. Blackburn, James Gray, Jane Gray, Eleanor Gray, James Tribble, Stephen Tribble, and William Gray, among many others.

Perhaps I'll get to the local library to do some primary-source research regarding this and other important cemeteries, etc.

Is this thing on?
