I recently got back from a family reunion (Freeman) in Bryson City, NC. While there I went to the Sawmill Hill Cemetery and Maple Springs Cemetery and took quite a few photo's of headstones. I'd be happy to share them if anyone is interested. Mostly my photo's were of the family names of King, Freeman, Winchester, Breedlove, Byrd, Camby, Cunningham, Davis, Dyer, McHan, Parker, Parton, Seay, Sherrill, Tabor, Wiggins, Wikle, and Dehart. I also stopped by the Swain County Historical Society and bought their "Swain County Cemetery Book", "Swain County Marriages 1871-1905", and "Swain County Marriages 1906-1916". I'd be happy to share the headstone photo's if anyone is interested. I'd also be willing to look up names in the marriage or cemetery book (I'd prefer, but not require, if you know where they were buried as the index only has last names, it may take a while for me to find a name if the cemetery is unknown). I'd highly recommend a trip to the historical society if you're in the area. Birth certificates copies can be bought at the courthouse for twenty five cents each.
