VERY OLD GRAVES UNCOVERED IN HOKE COUNTY
"Hi this is John Griggs. I have just moved into a new house, and in the subdivision that I moved into they were grading
for a new house and found a grave yard. I have been trying to find out if this is something you guys would like to come out and
find more out about it? I think it is interesting and how it is a shame of how it looks now. Please call me for I believe these
people who are buried here needs to be noted some where in the history. (706)618-1688. Thank you. John Griggs"
"John, Can you please share with me the data on one, some, or all of the markers you can see there? I will see what I
can find out. fyi: Hoke wasn't formed until 1911, so this area was Cumberland County, NC."
Notice: If you can identify any of these people, please share what you know with us. Thank-you! Myrtle November 12, 2015
