SHERIDAN FAMILY CEMETERY

Sheridan, Dan
?1781 - ?Nov 1863
(based on records - no tombstone)

Sheridan, Mary
?1795- ? 


My guess is that Dennis Sheridan and his wife, Mary would have been buried there.
Their daughter, Lou Fletcher, first married  G.W. Sewell - 1862, and then married Thomas Jarrell (as Thomas 1st wife). She is alive in 1870 with a 1 year old daughter, Lucy, but he is married in 1880 to  Mary McCants and Lucy is 11.

The Jarrell family (at least the Jarrell Community) is located very near this land lot.

METHODIST CHURCH TRUSTEE
Robert Carson, deeded to the trustees of The Methodist Episcopal Church in 1842, one acre of land Deedbook D/169(Lot 131, 24th Land District).  It was known as Carsonville Methodist Episcopal Church.
The trustees names in this deed were Micajah Blow, John Carson, William P. Edwards, Thomas Greer, Henry H. Mangham, Dennis Sheridan, Howell Short, John Solomon and Jesse Williams.
The church was discontinued as families moved away in the early 1900s and the building itself was torn down around 1925.
