Last summer he went back to that area, met some distant relatives and got directions to an old cemetery back in the woods. After making his way through the underbrush he finally found the entrance to the cemetery. As he walked into the cemetery, the first two tombstones he saw were those of one of his ancestors, and one of Jeremiah Scroggs (8 Apr 1755-12 Oct 1839), son of John SCROGGS (one of the Three SCROGGS Brothers). The Morrison friend was kind enough to take a photo of Jeremiah's tombstone and give it to me. I believe the cemetery was near Stony Point, NW of Statesville.".
