Finally ... my Robert Branson (Robert

listed as being buried in the Nottingham / Julian Cemetery in Delaware County.
On a field (and I DO mean field) trip I found the cemetery and the marker for
his wife Elizabeth (who was not listed in the county records). Do you have
any suggestions regarding finding cemetery records that might confirm where
Robert is.
Thanks,
Ron Branson
