OWNERS:

Homes Boisseau owned this estate in 1811, the length of time previous to this we 
have not been able to ascertain.  The heirs of Homes Boisseau sold the property 
to Mathew Williamson Raney, on January 23, 1845.  Who sold it to Dr. J.W. Wilson 
and his wife, H.B. (name unknown) on Oct. 20, 1869.  It was sold to Sidney 
Samuel Clary on Feb. 1, 1886.  By his will, dated January 21, 1903 and proved in 
Prince George court on October 13, 1905, it was inherited by his sons, Thomas 
Fenner Clary, Hugh Valentine Clary and Roane  Alexander Clary.  On Oct. 3, 1913, 
Thomas Fenner Clary bought out his brother’s interest.  On Dec. 9, 1930, Thomas 
Fenner Clary sold the property to Sidney C. Clary, the present owner. [1937]

DESCRIPTION:

This graveyard is located in an open field, about one hundred yards east of the 
Boisseau home.  It is a plot of ground about seventy feet square, enclosed by a 
barbwire fence, and heavily grown up in honeysuckle, briers, cedar and gum 
trees.  Judging from the size of the place fenced in, many people are buried 
here, but only one marker, a horizontal slab, can be found.
