Hi Susan
That picture of the grave site of the Simms, Sharp, McIntyre Douglas lot in McKeesport I sent you also has the Hunters in the same site.
It's actually two grave sites. Simms McIntyre Sharp in one lot. Then the next lot is for the Douglas and Hunter family. The Douglas and Hunter family is in the Meriwether Line. Then Caption John W McIntyre, my great uncle is a riverboat caption and buried with them.
Col Charles Simms served as second in command under Gen Rogers Clark. William Clark brother to Rogers Clark is Meriwethers Lewis's partner in Lewis and Clark. By luck the Clark grave site is across a small path 10 ft to the other side of the Simms Mcintyre Sharp lot. I just need to turn 180 degrees and I have a very large Clark Grave site in my picture frame.
One of the nice things about these grave sites is no one as moved in over 100 years. So the true relationship of the families is forever etched in the ground. I am not saying Rogers Clark or William Clark or Col Charles Simms are in the graves. It's their second and third generation children that are in these graves.
