Greg,

I don't know anything in particular about the Sheehan grave. Like you, my brother and I have
copies of the TVA maps showing exactly where the relocated graves were placed. We have used the
TVA maps at another cemetery and have found them accurate. My brother and I and Bill Williams,
who you know, are very interested in the relocated graves at Haynes Cemetery. All three of us will be
in Murray in October and plan on working at Haynes. We plan on accurately locating the relocated
graves and placing new markers on the so called "unknown guerrilla" graves. We hope to enlist the
help of the TVA with our project.

When we were last there, we found that only a few of the temporary markers remained and were
scattered around the hillside. If you are able to wait until October, we would be happy to work with
you on locating the graves. If not, we encourage you to be very careful in your placement of the
Shehan grave, as it will affect what we will be doing in the fall. My brother may phone you to tell you
what he remembers about our cursory survey of the site.
