The First Cemetary I surveyed on a trip to Virgina and then sumbitted to Rootsweb for free genealogy.

The second cemetary and all the information is one I found on the internet. I take no credit for the information of the second cemetary. Just want to share all I know with my fellow cousins.
============================================
PUCKETT CEMETERY, Dickenson County VA

State Route 80 to State Route 616 in Dickenson County Virginia. On Puckett Ridge.

The condition of this cemetery was very disappointing. Half the stones are erased. My 2nd cousins were nice enough to show me where the cemetery was and to take their weed wacker.

I don't claim to be an expert in genealogy.

The information below is not guaranteed.
