I have been feverishly working on my family tree for a few years now. A considerable part of my paternal ancestors lived in the Slate River area. My Winfreys were situated in and around Sharon Church / Well Water and my Tapscotts around the Sharp's Creek area. Through multiple trips, I have thoroughly documented and recorded the Winfrey cemetery and homesteads (as well as other local cemeteries) and now I am moving forward with the next generation. My Tapscott work has stalled in an area along Rock Island Creek and 'Howard's Rd.' I have three old land deeds, but no further information.

Although there is a large amount of work done towards Buckingham cemeteries, I have yet to find ANY information concerning the Robertson and Maxey lines from the Muddy Creek area of the Slate River District. I have searched many a family cemetery, but have drawn a blank concerning these surnames. I am looking for the Elisha Robertson family - he and his wife died in the 1870s. I am also looking for Maxeys from the same era. I even noted a Maxey Creek in the immediate area. Maybe there is someone who could help in these areas. Any help at all would be appreciated.
