Frederick's Note:

This is a small family cemetery located on the West/North 
side of Hudson Road, Selbyville, Sussex County, Delaware, 
which runs from Bishopville Md. to Delaware Rt. #54. GPS 
location: N 38.45580, W 75.18252.  It is directly beside 
the road, you can't miss it.  Although some of the stones 
are chipped, broken, or missing, it is well kept.  Some of 
my ancesters are buried there, so I have added some extra 
information on some of the persons buried there.
