Box 85, Siler, KY 40763 requests the following information be recorded here so that other interested persons may share the results of his many many years of research in reference to this cemetery and of Pierce D. Hamblin. The four people listed above are fairly recent burials and the graves are located outside the old or original cemetery which is the oldest cemetery on Big Poplar Creek. Charley Shelton at one time counted 82 graves, all marked with field stones only, with no names or dates. Pierce Dant Hamblin & wige owned the land here, also their sons George Hamblin & Vincent Peter Hamblin and wife, Sopha (Peace) Hamblin. Pierce Dant Hamblin and/or his sons George and Vincent Peter Hamblin sold this land to William Lawson and his brother Henry Lawson on 27 August 1832. Linda (Lawson) Shelton who passed away a couple weeks ago (around 1 Nov. 1981) at age 98 and had good remberance until she fell and broke her hip related to Johnny Cox how Lindas grandmother told her how they moved from Cane Creek to Big Poplar Creek. Linda further stated she knew of only two people being buried there (old cemetery) and they were her grand mother Elizabeth Lawson, wife of William and the wife of John Reynolds. This cemetery could have been known as the OLD HAMBLIN CEM., later changed to the OLD LAWSON CEM. It is further believed that this is where Pierce Dant Hamblin And wife are buried even though the stone for Pierce Cant Hamblin is in the HAMBLIN CEM. on Mulberry Creek.
