This fascinating book places 23 human-effigy folk gravestones and the persons and families they represent in genealogical, historical, and geographical context. Starting with nothing more than crudely inscribed information obtained from gravestones in rural and long-abandoned cemeteries, the authors identify the individuals and their extended family ties. Several individuals and families are traced to their Virginia, Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky homelands. A profusely illustrated, readable slice of pioneer life and an excellent example of combining gravestone and genealogical charts. Families include: Hazel, Rolston, Hays, Cotton, Hill, Ditterline, Ellis, Cannaday, Sullenger, Watson, Scott, Beanard and (Shuffle) Barger. 42 pages, 9 maps, 40 photos, 6 genealogical charts.
