On October 14 1975 the following gravestones were readable 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (departed 1811).

11. Added: Joseph Scott, son of William departed this life Sept. 2, 1814 in the 2nd Year of his age.

The graveyard is located 3/4 mile north of on the "Stringtown" Road. The graves are on the east side up to the top of a hill on the present Kerr farm property at the corner of the field. Gravestones 5 & 6 (double marker) are only one standing and is in good condition. This all changed after the Kerr family bought the property, as of Dec 2001, when I was personally there, all makers were standing, thanks to Mrs. Kerr and her sons, who also keep the area mowed.
