Locally it is called the Reinheimer Cemetery because it was on the Reinheimer farm for years
until the Reinheimers sold it.  Others call it the Hughbanks cemetery because it was 
originally on the Hughbanks land.  I call it the Brandenburg-Maddox-Hughbanks cemetery 
because it is 90% Brandenburgs who married a Maddox and a Hughbanks.

John Brandenburg, the oldest one in the cemetery, is the son of Matthias Brandenburg who d.
in Lincoln Co.  Matthias supposedly was in line to be the next Great Elector of the Empire
of Brandenburg within the Holy Roman Empire. Matthias was b.c. 1740.  

I have question marks next to those that were only initials, as I guessed at their full names.
