Geocache Description:


Welcome to the plot of the forgotten.  This cemetery is full with uneven ground but the stones are either weathered out or buried at least under the ivy.  I researched the cemetery but found only one known living descendant and no one interested in restoration.  The stone you are looking for represents J. Garr (Gaar).  To wit:

Birth: Mar. 20, 1782
Culpeper
Culpeper County
Virginia, USA

Death: Oct. 28, 18??
Louisville
Jefferson County
Kentucky, USA

J. Garr was born 20 Mar 1782 in Culpeper County, Va., a son of Andrew Gaar and Christina Wilhoit. Jacob died 28 Oct 18?? in Jefferson County.

His wife Susan Garr (born 03 Feb 1781, Madison County, Va., died 07 July 1861, Jefferson County, Ky.*) "was her husband's double first cousin,** a daughter of John Gaar and Margaret Wilhoit.***

Susan and (husband) Jacob share the same maternal and paternal grandparents, Lorenz Gaar and Dorothea Blankenbaker and Johann Christian Willheit and Margaret ‘Peggy' Walburga Weaver.


** When two sisters marry two brothers, their children are double first cousins.
