CHURCH/CEMETERY HISTORY:

I am researching my ancestor Burt Moore, a Revolution soldier (W2155),who lived 
at the fork of Mill Cr on Eastatoe Creek from 1783-1836 when he died.  I believe 
the Nimmons cemetery is the property which he had once owned until he died Apr 
23,1836.  His 2nd wife Mary Glenn/Glynn  sold it in 1850 to Abraham Stewart, and 
Abe died 8 years later.  Abe is buried at the Abe Stewart cemetery, but I don't 
think that was Burt's property location according to Clayton's map of Pendleton 
district, and other maps accumulated by family records.   My DNA matched cousin 
is Janice Moore-Cronan. Apparently she has planned to "clean up" the Nimmons 
cemetery.  The people buried there were persecuted by Bloody Bill Cunningham, 
and I can see the graves or tombs were desecrated some time ago. I would like to 
study it, and be on the team to work on it, but I live in Colorado.
