"I live in Greensboro, NC. For a number of years we have known about an abandoned cemetery down the road from my house. The cemetery seems to be the family plot of a Colonel James Nicholson Millis and his wife Elizabeth Armfield Millis. Recently, we decided to write down all the names in the graveyard,(at least the ones with headstones), and see if anyone was looking into their family roots. Your website was the only one that mentioned relatives from North Carolina on the MILLIS line. I also updated the gravesites on findagrave.com. I hope you find this information useful, and feel free to e-mail me if you want further questions. I would love to know if they are your family or if I should keep looking.
Sincerly,
Venus Musgrove"

"I did a little bit of research into Marriages and Births in Guilford County. James Millis did marry a Mary Jackson. However the James Millis in my cemetery appears to be their son [?]. Born Oct. 22 1815. A couple of years after their marriage. He obviously married into the Armfield family, although I could not find a marriage date for James Millis and Elizabeth Armfield. The only other information I have from the graves is that two of the persons buried there were Masons. Most of the poems written below the names are unreadable due to age and neglect. A couple of the graves said 'Gone but not forgotten', but that was all. A third family, Ozment, was also buried in the cemetery, probably linked by marriage of an Armfield or Millis daughter. Apparently in the 60's some of the members of the family moved six of the graves and tombstones to another cemetary. There moved to Good Hope Church Presbyterian Cemetery. Here is a link to a picture of the Millis-Armfield Cemetery.

I am very much in my geneology and family history, and I am always happy to help someone else with theirs.
