The John Morgan Adams Family Cemetery, which I visited on 28 March 2015, is located on Hoover Fork of Harts Creek in Logan County, WV. It is situated 0.6 miles up main Hoover from the mouth of McCloud Branch. It is located on the right going upstream. This cemetery is covered in growth and small trees, nearly forgotten.

Hailie was my aunt, married to my fathers brother. Think her daughtet Verma was buried there this year. Dicie Vance, great aunt married to grandma Mary’s brother Willie. Jim and Lester, my uncles, daddy’s brother.My aunt Willa’s baby would have been buried close to Lester or Jim. Died either in late 30’s or 40’s.
Jane Dalton Adams was a sister to my great great grandmother Causby Dalton Conley. Jane was known by the nickname “Pooche” (spelling). Do you have any idea where Jane and Causby’s parents are buried? They would be James Dalton and Jane Workman Dalton who had land grants around Kiah’s Creek in Wayne county but eventually lived on main Hart.
Hi, Phillip. Good to hear from you. Back in the mid-1990s, I visited a cemetery in a now-forgotten spot on “Yellow Mountain” in the head of Harts Creek. One of Jim’s descendants accompanied me. (It was his idea to find the cemetery; he had talked with some of the old Dalton people and they provided us with directions to the presumed location of Jim’s grave.) All we found were rocks–nothing marked whatsoever. In fact, my memory recollects the rocks were not even buried in the ground. It was a small cemetery and looked forgotten and neglected. If you’d like, I’ll ask this person to refresh my memory on the location of the cemetery. All of my old Dalton friends are now gone so I can’t ask any of them. My friend, though, may recollect the spot.
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Unfortunately most of the older generation is dying off or already gone. It makes me wish I’d paid closer attention when I was younger. If it’s not too much trouble, ask your friend if they can recall anything. Truly appreciate it, Phillip C.
