Subject: Re: [INDAVIES] BRITTAIN surname
We wonder if Barbara did a section on the Old Elnora Cemetery. I
believe
she still lives in Elnora.
We live on the Eastern Shore of VA with no hope of getting to Indiana.
Our ggrandparents Wm and Eliza Smallwood Carr are buried Old Elnora. We
would love to know who else from our family might be buried there - any
help with the Carr family would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John Carr
