The Wheatley Cemetery on the Irvin Wheatley Farm.

The following document is an excerpt of a transcription from a document in the 
possession of Paul Ellis and of which I have a copy, and I would assume, also 
available (or soon to be) at the Nabb Center. The document was prepared by Mary 
Lee Duffield and Robert L. Vincent. I don't know when it was prepared. Mary and 
Robert also included some additional information which is included in 
(parenthesis). My own notes will be in {braces}.

They note that "The information contained in this list was determined by sight 
and feel alone without the help of any enhancement elements, and should not be 
accepted as completely accurate without verification."

I photographed the tombstones during December 2002, but failed to get all of 
them. The cemetery now lies across the property line of the Eskridge's 
(descendants of Seth Bell Wheatley) and one other whose name I forget.
