Dear Ms. Gibbens,
I am in receipt of your letter, and wish to thank you for your prompt attention and the information supplied.
I would like to know if all graves from theGainsville cemetery were re-located in one area, or are they scattered all over. And, are they possibly located close to the Bay St. Louis area? Also, can you tell me why they were re-located and by whom?
Are your records of the Gainsville cemetery burials open for inspection by the public? I ask because there are many names I have to research.
I would like to ask if you would check your files for any Bradford1s, but more specifically:
Gabriel Bradford born 1795 - died Dec.19. I867
Marry Wingate Bradford - born Mar.11, 1805
John Bradford - died Mar.17, 1837
Fielding Bradford
Mary Bradford Davidson - died Aug28, 1853
If any Bradford's are in your files, could you advise the location of the grave and any headstone inscription if known. Any informstion you could supply would be appreciated. Thank you.
Sincerely,
