    Red Oak Grove (and Union Clay Graves)

    could it be that the road that heads north from the red cross on the map and parallels 563 to the west by about 50 yards is the old 563? It"s common to find the old route paralleling the new route in some places.Maybe the grave is along this old route? Al
