Old Connally UMC Cemetery near Milton, NC ( I had called this the Tobe Phelps Cemetery, descendant of Isham Phelps). Ray Barker whom Mark & I met at a store in Semoria, Caswell County led us to the cemetery. Since it was getting late in the evening, I only record the following the following Martha Connally w/o William Connally born 17 Jan 1839, died 28 Dec 1855 and Emma Jane Brandon w/o William A Howard born 12 Mar 1875 died 12 June 1929. ( This cemetery was on the Ray Barker Hughes Rd.)

 

Later, Ray lead us to the Ralph Taylor cemetery. Ralph’s sister ma+rried Tobe Phelps. Overgrown with trees and underbrush. Ray gave me his mother’s Mary Agnes Barker phone # 336-234-7583 address 144 Norman Barker Rd. Milton, NC and Ray’s address is 367 Norman Barker Rd. Milton, NC 27805. He said that Tobe and his wife were buried in Danville, VA and his mother could help us. Called Mary Barker who provided the following information: Tobe Phelps & his wife buried at Miltoive Landand Park, Danville, VA. A son Leonard Grap Phelps buried here also; died about 1950, killed in a car accident. Lenord’s sister Mabel Barrow lives in a retirement center. Mary didn’t know anything about the family of Albert Phelps. She said the Mormon Church, upper end of Caswell County, "Anderson Community" has a lot of history. The Gunn Memorial Library in Yanceyville has a lot of history. On Robert L. Phelps she said he had a brother, Lee who lives in Danville, VA

 

I had my GPS system, first used it in Halifax, Winn’s Creek, Tobe Phelps’ farm and at Ralph Taylor’s cemetery. Tried to download data to my computer, but nothing came up. Next time, I’ll write down the coordinates.

Doug, I am thinking that the Rester and the Kester TUNE men are one and the same. I have seen before the name "Kester" but not a name "Rester". However one never knows.....this is just how it is showing in the book.
