(A hiatus exists in the burials between the years 1826 and 1836.  The vestry book has been
mutilated.  On the page before the burials for 1836 seven pages are cut out; these doubless
contained the burials between the above dates.  Many burials were made between 1815 and 1830
of which no record exits.  Thomas H. WYNNE, Esq., fills an unmarked grave near the fram
school building; his grave is enclosed with an iron fence.  Chancellor George WYTHE also
occupies an undesignated grave, as do hundreds of others in the old churchyard.  The two last
were not buried during this interim, but the fact of their burial in the churchyard is noted here
because omitted from all the records.
