(grave of John Taylor and Hannah Stewart)
I visited this graveyard on May 14, 1998 and found most of the stones broken, missing, or unreadable. The tombs were covered over and unmarked. Though there seems to have been some attempt to clean up the area, this has come too late to preserve most of the markers. - Taylor Conard
