Wordy Wednesday: Visiting Lyonsville Baptist Church Cemetery
Well it looks like I’ll be heading to Wilkes County soon to visit the Cemetery at Lyonsville Baptist Church in Rayle.
From what LaKisha {my new found, could be cousin!:-} tells me, Lyonsville is a family cemetery of sorts and many FAVER/FAVOR-BOLTON Ancestors are resting in the Church Cemetery.
If my Annie FAVER is connected to this line, there is a good chance she could be to!
Grandma Annie would have passed away after 1900 but before 1910 — as she is found in the 1900 Pento, Wilkes County Census living with Grandpa Phil but by 1910 Grandpa Phil is widowed living in Atlanta’s 4th Ward.
Because she died before 1919 there is no Georgia Death Certificate to reference.
Could Grandma Annie and other FAVER-CARTER Ancestors be buried at Lyonsville? Quite possibly — I sure hope so.
My Faver-Carter family is the biggest remaining GeneaMystery I have. It would be a blessing to know more about her and my other kin folks from that line.
I’m still crossing my fingers that the Faver/Favor genealogy compiled by the late Paris Favors of North Carolina will make its way to me. I’m anxious to see what questions I am able to answer!
I’ll keep you posted…
Luckie.
My aunt has another cemetery for you. This one has more and older family members
LaKisha I would love to contact your Aunt & spend some time digging deeper. Is she OK with your sharing her phone number (via phone/email of course!:-)
I am itching to find out more about what she shared regarding the picture of who I believed to be Henry BOLTON (your Great Grandfather) — did I get it right, she says the Ancestor in the picture is Silas BOLTON — Henry’s Father?
I remember when I discovered the image, I calculated that your Henry would have been 32 yrs — which I thought odd for the white-haired picture.
I’d love to hear more — like who is the woman in the image? I would drive TODAY to see more images of the family & I can’t wait to visit the cemeteries.
Please call when you can, the later the better!:-)
Luckie.
I can get my aunt “Boots” phone number. She said she has more pictures. But yes she said that that was Silas in the picture. She has the original picture at her house. She lives in Washington (or Lincolnton. I’m sure she would not mind you calling or coming by. I will text you her number.
Well Kisha… looks like I’ll be taking a day trip to Washington-Wilkes within the next two weeks, with my portable scanner in hand! This is way too good to do via phone!:-)
Luckie.
I would love to know what you guys find because I am tracing my family tree and I have a Lou Favors in my tree. She is the mother of my great-grandfather Porter Mattox.
Hi Tamara! Is Lou FAVORS & Porter MATTOX from Wilkes Co? Give me as much info as you have & I will see what I can locate on your Ancestors!
Thanks for visiting OGR!:-)
Luckie.
