I'm trying to verify the marriage of Sarah Francis Gipson/Gibson and John Thomas Smith. She was born in Homer in 1857, married in Claiborne County supoosedly in 1876 and died in 1877. Her father, John M Gipson/Gibson married Susan Minerva Kendrick in Homer. Apparently there used to be a Kendrick Cemetery in Homer but I can't find any sources that tell me it's still there. Some of the the Gibson/Gipson family are buried there with the Kendrick family members. Can anyone steer me in the right direction to getting some information on these names and places?

Just seeing this post. Homer is located Claiborne Parish, Louisiana...
Go to Google;
Type in < "Claiborne Parish, Louisiana", cemeteries >. A bunch of sites will come up.

As long as I have been doing this I KNEW Homer was in Louisiana and not Mississippi! It must have been a rough day when I typed this original question. Thanks for the input.
