Just added a gravestone photo for Margaret Crawford (born c. 1793, died 1/19/1864 aged 71). Not sure if this is her maiden or married name.

Any ideas?

There are also new updates for several other Surnames: Crawford, Matthews, Elliott and more.

Just updated the cemetery listing for this web page.  New gravestones added for the following surnames:

• McCreight
• Beaty
• Stewart

I still have about 25 more gravestones to add.

As always, if you would like copies of any of the photos, please let me know.

Cheers,

I was sent Robert Lara Cathcart's will recently by the Alachua County Florida Clerk of the Court, (thanks very much Jim!).

There are mentions of several children, grandchildren and a look into the guardianship of the Shirley grandchildren. Perhaps this has something to do with Robert's son-in-law Darling Shirley getting $1!

If you continue to search, you'll find several other interesting listings.

Thanks & looking forward to hearing from my cousins and fellow genealogy nuts.
