Tom,
This follows our discussion about the possible family graves/ graveyard on the Craven property at Fort Ward. As I mentioned I have been talking with members of the descendant families and evidently George Craven was interviewed about the Craven family. He said that there were family graves in the yard. Also, I spoke with Butch and Calvin Terrell, who are helping the Society's research, and we looked at the 1927 air photo. The home site is clearly show on the photo. If you look closely with magnification at the northeast part of the yard there appears to be an area with trees that could be a family graveyard.
I assume you have this photo, and the 1937 one as well. If not let me know and I'll send you a digital copy or loan you my print.
