<p>[QUOTE="DJP7x0s, post: 300464, member: 5336"]oh really, they put up fences and signs??? Well, this land that we own has been in the family since my ancesters came here on the mayflower. But the only part I have never figured out is why the cemetary is on our land. I recognize alot of the names. Most have roads, streams, ponds and what not named after them. But only a few of the stones bear names of our family. And thats another aspect that I have mixed feelings on. All the historical records state that the resting place of all of these people has never been found. I kinda feel that it should be known. I know just where they are and the rest of the town is clueless. And I do feel that peole who care to visit the site should be able to, especially the ancestors. But its my grandmothers land, and she has never wanted the historic society to know where the graves are. Because once they know where it is, they will put up fences and signs. And they will cut a road out to it. And I believe that my grandmother would be forced to forfeit the land that the cemetary is on. Possibly even the road going to it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
