there are more graves, so badly overgrown that cemetery count and
description impossible at present time. J. R. Orgain, Jr. (who died
recently in Brunswick Co.,) says that this is the most impressive
collectino of large marble monuments viewed in any Brunswick Co.,
cemetery. Cemetery is 1.3 miles, west of P.R.46 on N. side off S.R.
669.
Is anyone familiar with the Harrison names? I am particularly interested
in the genealogy of DR. MATTHEW MYRICK HARRISON
