Looking for location of an old cemetary?
Posted by: James Batson Hearn, Jr. (ID *****1227) Date: February 22, 2003 at 11:12:13

I am trying to locate an old Hearn cemetary on the "Bailey Farm," called Iron Hill, Little Creek Hundred, Sussex Co. It is located approximately 1 & 1/2 or 1 & 3/4 miles northeast of Delmar. I have traveled over several of the old roads, but have been unable to locate it's whereabouts?!? It was listed in Tombstone inscriptions published in the Maryland & Delaware Genealogist, Vol. VIII, No. 2, April 1967. It is also listed in several of the files at the Archives in Dover.
Buried there are:
Hearn, Julia A., wife of Wm. S., (B. 1834)
Hearn, Thomas W. (b. 1830 d.1915)
Hearn, William S. (b. 1834 d. 1893)
Lesgate, Thomas G. (b.18[61 or 01] age 34 yrs.)

I am in hopes that Wm S.'s parents, Kendal Batson (b. 1808-9 d. 1874) & Elizabeth Hearn, might also be buried there but their stones be lying flat and covered by years of growth and debrie! They were all buried on the old home farm on "the road from Salisbury to Laurel." Even Wm.S.'s grandpanents, Thomas (d.Sept. 24, 1832) and Sally Coffin Hearn!
Can anyone help me?
much thanks,
Jay Hearn
