The original Twyman graveyard is about one mile north of the house, situated on 
a beautiful knoll.  It is about fifty yards square with a four foot rock wall 
around it.  The only way one can enter is to climb over the top.  There are 
trees in this graveyard sixteen inches in diameter, also bushes and briers.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

One stone has only this on it:

S. Twyman
Departed 1826


Anthony Twyman
Born February 2, 1779
Died May 4, 1858


James  W. Twyman
Born Sept. 25, 1818
Died 1879

The other stones all have dates since 1890.  And there are some graves which 
have no inscriptions.  It is generally known that this graveyard was started 
before Mr. Anthony Twyman built his mansion, as it was spoken of in that day.
