    There at least a hundred marked graves, in this plot no inscriptions on the 
    native stones takes its name from a very large poplar tree which stood on 
    the grave of a child*, having six branches, each of which was a large tree 
    in its self. Among the branches a tombstone was imbedded several feet above 
    the ground. A number of years ago this tree was destroyed by lightning. 
    [*a line drawn through- a child with an arrow leading to left margin pencil 
    entry of, Richard Green? Could be different, the hand writing is hard to read].
