The farm was near the Blue Spring Branch along Doe Run Creek The farm has had several owners over the years and was finally sold in plots. The cemetery has been covered with trees, brush and vines for years. Since 1984 some of the stones have fell off the base and some are broke. There was 10-15 large limestone rocks that marked other graves. Jinsey Strader Thomas, 1st wife of James is believed to be buried there. James S.and Rebecca Seeley Thomas are my great great grandparents.
