Author's Note: We have tried to be very careful in indexing this cemetery and made every attempt to be accurate as it is my family cemetery. If any errors are found, please contact me at nwishon@triad.rr.com. If a date was omitted, it might mean the person is alive or just that the stone was never carved. You will note that the further we went, the less information we collected. I hope to update everything completely in the future. I want these people to be honored and remembered. Unfortunately, I have gotten what appears to be accurate information that long ago a number of graves were marked with wooden headstones that rotted and erroded away. They may never be identified and unfortunately, may be buried over. Use this information freely for your own geneology but do not sell or post it where it may be collected and resold by commercial vendors. A special thanks to my husband, Mike, for spending many hours helping with this task of love. Nancy Wishon
