**SHELLS FORK CEMETERY : Located off of Rt. #2 Greenup County.  
Shells Fork is located  around 3 miles beyond the old Racoon Furnace. 
I have been told Shells Fork is not the original name of the Cemetery. 
I have added the dates for Joseph Belford , made rubbings of the Nelson 
stones. If anyone has information on the Cemetery or the unknowns buried 
their I would like to hear from you.
