One other thing. Catharine Fuller Tinsley Grant was my 3rd g-grandmother. I'm obviously related to her through the Tinsley's. However Stephen Grant is my 3rd g-grandfather through a different line. Oddly enough, after the were both widowed they married, so I guess they're both my 3rd g-grandparents and my 3rd step-g-grandparents???
I have heard rumor of a few other burials that have disappeared with time, but at this point I can't prove any of them.
If you're interested in what Jane says, here is a link. http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/la/vernon/cemeteries/melton.txtA photo of the headstone and footmarker of Stephen Nathaniel Grant 27 Nov 1820 / 03 Jun 1878). He was the father of Sarah Jane Grant Bagents. His 1st wife was Marie Celina Armand. I don't have proof of her birth and death, but it is generally reported that she was born in 1823 and died in 1861. There is a report on another site that she is buried in Beasley Cemetery in Natchitoches Parish but I have no proof.....yet :-)
A general view of the cemetery. You can see that my 3 relatives are the prominent markers.
A photo of the headstone of Catharine Fuller Tinsley Grant (16 Sep 1828 / 23 Oct 1892). She is the 2nd wife of Stephen Grant. Her name is mis-spelled on her marker as I have proof of the spelling Catharine. Her 1st husband was Josiah Tinsley and he died in Ouachita Parish in July 1855. She married Stephen Grant in 1862.
