Cemetery - Doughty/Kilpatrick PS: I put both cemeteries up on the Find-a-Grave website:   http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=csr&CScn=old+kilpatrick&CScntry=4&CSst=0 I located the Old Kilpatrick Cemetery and spent some time there.  In fact, there are two distinct cemeteries; one being a slave cemetery with about 75-100 burials and the other a while cemetery with around 10-15 burials.  Here are the gps coordinates:   (White) Latitude: 34.61413, Longitude: -82.95770 (Slave) Latitude: 34.61536, Longitude: -82.95733   The land is currently owned by the Graber brothers who were very kind and showed me the cemetery location.  I could only find one grave in the slave cemetery that was clearly legible.  One it was the name "Wilston/Milston".  In the white cemetery, I found Col. Alexander Kilpatrick's stone was several engravings, with the largest looking almost like a "W."  However, I think that it is a K with a line running like this / on the bottom right edge....i.e. K/   I didn't notice it at the time, but a cousin pointed out in the photos that there appears to be another stone with a J engraved in the upper left hand corner (in the white cemetery; see photos labeled 0266, 0267, and especially 0268).   I took quite a few photos of both cemeteries: http://www.thestapps.net/files/old_kilpatrick_cemetery/   I am planning to take another trip up there next weekend to clean the stones (with water and a toothbrush).  They are mostly carved out of sandstone, and I have no intentions of putting chemicals on them.  Will the Genealogical Society take note of this cemetery and/or plan any actions to take care of it?   David Alan Stapp stappda@yahoo.com TOMBSTONE TRANSCRIPTION NOTES: ------------------------------ a. = age at death b. = date-of-birth d. = date-of-death h. = husband m. = married p. = parents w. = wife >
