      Thanks to Bonnie for asking the question and pursuing it! Thanks to Gene, Charlie, and Bonnie for getting me to dig through my notes and for their additions to my notes!! Now when the vines are down and we have cooler weather, we will all have to see if we can get onto the land.

      From my compiled notes:

      According to Sarah Smith Rowell Johnson (wife of Turner Collier Johnson who was the son of Joseph Franklin Johnson and Edmonia Salome Collier).....

      Sarah E. Baird Harrison (wife of William Franklin Harrison) who died of TB on January 22, 1888 (the date of her oldest daughter's birthday, Lottie, who had turned 12 years old that day and also leaving my grandmother Nellie who was 16 months old, her other children Joshua, Herbert, Myrtie, and Clarah)

      "is buried in Prince George County near Newville."

      This could possibly place her at the Kirkham or Simmons Cemetery.

      The Coleman Simmons Cemetery is 1.7 miles northwest of Disputanta on 460 then about 100 yards north of 460 in Prince George County.

      The Kirkham Cemetery is described to be 1.2 miles north of Disputanta, Virginia, on route 618; thence .8 mile northwest on Route 629; thence .1 mile south of route 629, Prince George County, Virginia.

      The Kirkham Cemetery contains the remains of Joshua Simmons and his daughter, Ann Simmons Harrison and her husband, William Thomas Harrison who are the great grandparents and grandparents of William Franklin Harrison, Sarah E. Baird Harrison's husband.

      The Kirkham Cemetery also contains the remains of Joshua Simmons' daughter, Martha Simmons Stainback and her husband, Peter Stainback, and their son, Adolphus "Doll" and daughter Martha Stainback Kirkham.

      A marker states: Martha Stainback, wife of William Kirkham, born in Prince George County, Virginia (this place) April 2, 1828. Died in Clarksville, Virginia November 28, 1901. Mother.

      And

      William Kirkham
      Born in Petersburg, VA Dec. 4, 1817
      Died in Petersburg, VA July 13, 1893
      Father

      Source of information was Susie Harrison Figg, Prince George, Virginia and research by Jennie S. Harrison on Oct. 4, 1937.

      Susanna Harrison Figg is the sister of Joshua Simmons Harrison who is William Franklin Harrison's father and Sarah E. Baird Harrison's (b. January 27, 1854 - d. January 22, 1888) father-in-law. Susanna is Sarah's aunt in law.

      It would make perfect sense for Sarah E. Baird Harrison to be buried there at the Kirkham Cemetery.

      Perhaps the new Prince George Cemetery Project and Clarah's grand daughter can help us out. Thanks so much!

      Best Wishes to All,
      Mom/ Brenda
