You might want to look at Terry Jordan's Texas Graveyards http://www.amazon.com/Texas-Graveyards-Cultural-Russell-Foundation/dp/0292780702 or Cemeteries and Gravemarkers, edited by Richard Meyer http://www.amazon.com/Cemeteries-Gravemarkers-Voices-American-Culture/dp/0874211603/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1277901919&sr=1-1-spell Both of these books discuss the Upland South Folk cemetery, which is what you'll most likely be dealing with. I might also suggest Crissman's Death and Dying in Central Appalachia http://www.amazon.com/DEATH-DYING-CENTRAL-APPALACHIA-ATTITUDES/dp/0252063554/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1277902066&sr=1-1 which is an interesting read.

Does anyone have any references regarding cemetery layout in the Southeast US during the early 19th Century? Specifically, I am looking for references to the use of rows of stone to mark cemetery boundaries. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Heather M.
