Researcher Jack Robinson, of the Historical Researcher’s Blog, spends countless hours preserving cemeteries in the Onslow county area. Jack also has authored a book on Captain Otway Burns, an Onslow County native. Capt. Burns had sea adventures against British Tall wind-sail vessels and Jack is so into this history that he recently got a tattoo of a Tall wind-sail vessel. That’s dedication!

A transcription of Wright Horne Cemetery has been added to the Cemeteries page. The survey was conducted by Myra & Keith Lanier in summer 2009. View the page here.
Zilphia “Zannie” Koonce was the daughter of Francis Duval Koonce & Hannah Rebecca Rhodes. She married twice that I can tell, once to a Creagh and 2nd to John R. Hatch. Zannie is buried in Koonce Cemetery in Richlands, the latest addition to the Cemeteries page on this site. This cemetery has members of the Howard, Koonce & Taylor families.
Find-A-Grave contributor Caroline, who took pictures of all the tombstones in the cemetery, was kind enough to allow them to be shared on this site. According to census records, Zannie did not have any children, but did have stepchildren with John.
Do you have ancestors and relatives buried in the Stump Sound area of Onslow County? If so, you may be interested in consulting the indices to Volumes 1 & 2 of the book Onslow County Cemeteries: Stump Sound Township by James Michael Whaley.
Yesterday, I added links to the indices of these two books on the Cemeteries page.
