Nelson, Minnie L. 22 Dec 1882 - 12 Sep 1963 (wife of Joseph S. Nelson) Researcher: Ruben Nelson YJ71@aol.com Thornton, Solomon Thomas ? - 1 Feb 1898 (infant son of James Harris and Mattie Brown Thornton) Note from Lisa Windham: The Byrd-Glover Cemetery has been called that ever since I can remember. I grew up just 3-4 mi down the road & I've never heard it called anything else. There are Byrd & Glover folks buried there, as well as McDaniel, Nelson, Ogburn, Saylor & some others too. It's not a very large cemetery at all, but I suspect there are a lot more folks buried there than we know about (unmarked graves). The name came from the folks who are buried in it and the fact that it's located across the road (there was no road there then) from a church that Nancy Byrd donated the land for in exchange for having a log home built. That is the site of what later became known as Glover School. Byrd-Glover School - Clayton Academy From the "History of Reynolds, Georgia" Compiled by Reynolds Woman's Club, Bicentennial Edition, pg 27. "... had it's beginning on May 12, 1832 when four men and five women constituted themselves into a Primitive Doctrine Baptist Church. This church was located about eight miles Northwest of Reynolds (note: Reynolds wasn't formed until 1852) at Ariel in Crawford County which at that time included part of what is now Taylor County."
