‘Find a Grave’ link for Bethany Cemetery
Bethany Road Cemetery is the Oldest Cemetery in Monson. The first Burial was in 1762. Many stones used here came from the Quarry in Monson. From what I have been told, several stone cutters cut and carved their own stones before their death. The quarry closed in the 1940's

8 McQuaid / Lynch Family Branches Added to the Genealogy Report Page

 
I’s official, I can know wear a Scottish Family Tartan. I have known that several generations of my Flynn ancestry were born in Scotland. Blairgowrie & Dundee. But their ancestors came from Ireland in the 1840’s. What I discovered today is Thomas Flynn B1855 married into the Robertson family from Dundee & Rattray, Scotland. James Robertson B1822, from Dundee is my 3rd Great Grandfather. The Robertsons took up arms for the Stewarts in 1689, were pardoned in 1703 but took part in both the 1715 and 1745 Jacobite Uprisings. If you remember my post from Aug 24th, History, Genealogy and Historical Fiction: or How to find a Huguenot in a Papist’s Attic, my Mother’s ancestors fought on the other side. There are Robertsons in many parts of Scotland with a concentration in Dundee and Perth.
I will be going to the 36th NH Highland Games, at Loon Mountain Ski Resort, Lincoln, NH, September 16, 17, 18, 2011, to  get fitted for a kilt.
