http://usgenweb.org/states/index.shtml is a free site with links to numerous State FH sites.
You're sometimes lucky and find a list of transcribed records

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gs&
is a project where volunteers have or will photo and upload headstones.

One of my branches emmigrated in the early 1840s to Chenango Co, NY - there was a list of transcribed headstones (by application) on usgenweb.
After posting a request on Findagrave, 2 people went out and photoed them! They are now up-loaded to the findagrave site
