We tried to find the William Bradshaw Cemetery. Here is an excellent web page of this cemetery with the listing of everyone who was buried there.

The Steele Cemetery
This a long article written by an old settler of Tazewell Virginia. It's very descriptive. I was surprised by the number of murders that took place. It was very wild country. The Indians were a danger to the settlers.

This is a great site of the Civil War soldiers from Russell County VA. John Wesley Steele was at Appomattox.

The Finney Cemetery
Our last stop was the Finney Cemetery. We took pictures of Reuben Finney and Rebecca Johnson's gravestones. Reuben's second wife Nancy Grizzle is buried there, too. We were not able to identify her grave.
Reuben and Rebecca are Celia Finney's parents. Celia Finney married George Harvey Steele who lost his leg when he fought at Manassas during the Civil War.
Here is a genealogy site for the Finney Family.
