Have you been to Spring Hill Cemetery? Apparently there was a courthouse fire in 1872 that destroyed many of the records. Could you give any advice on how to research something like this? There are headstones there with names like Mr. Jimbo. How do you research those without a surname? Given how rare African American cemeteries are, do you think owners of the different cemeteries may have information on each other?
