NOTES FROM JANICE:  Everyone in this cemetery is related.  Asher Whitehead 
is the uncle of Susan A. (White) (Reed) Burgess.  It is possible her mother 
Sarah (Whitehead) White is also buried here, but probing has not turned up 
anything ( headstone) under ground.   Susan’s father Henry is buried in 
Seneca County, NY.

Joel H. White is the brother of Susan.  The Burgess individuals ( William 
and B. H. ) are her second set of children.  All Reeds come from her first 
marriage to Charles Reed.

Younger ones of Reed and Burgess are her grandchildren.
