The Abbott-Lambert Family Cemetery, which I visited on 1 April 2016, is located between the communities of Green Shoal and Toney at the mouth of Abbotts Branch along the Guyandotte River in Lincoln County, West Virginia. This cemetery was established by Christian T. Fry (b.1824) and his family. Later, due to the prominence of Lambert-Fry descendants, it became known as the Lambert Cemetery. I first visited this cemetery in the early 1990s and periodically return to update my list.
