We were happy to find the cemetery to be almost intact from the previous surveys with only a few missing markers. However, we found many discrepancies between the three previous surveys. Any discrepancies we were not able to resolve while doing our survey are noted. The names are listed in alphabetical order for ease in searching. If you need to know who is buried next to whom, contact one of us via email. There are also numerous graves marked with fieldstones. ADAMS, F.

We are unable to verify this. Thomas White is the only patriot with a marked grave.
