These cemeteries have had maiden names and children's names added
when known by the editor. All the information given here may not necessarily
be on the tombstones. Your editor has personally walked many of these cemeteries
or had the cemeteries walked by friends and relatives so these are not copies
of the printed records although the printed records were consulted as a cross
check source to locate the many errors in the printed records. Understandably,
the larger cemeteries will not be included in these accounts.
These records are posted as a guideline to locating your relatives. Older tombstones are subject to various interpretations by those reading them. Also, occasional typing or transcription errors are inevitable. Therefore, you are encouraged to go to the original sources if possible for your own interpretation of the data and documentation of the data.
We are indebted to the Buffington
Family who had recorded the names in the Buffington Cemetery before many
of the stones were destroyed or lost.
