(Note from Stan Magnesen's personal research: Joseph TIPPIT donated the land for Cross Creek Baptist Church to be built on, so when he died they put a wrought iron fence around his grave, because it is a place of honor.  Joseph married Lucy RORIE.   There is a fieldstone also with the fence--we don't know if it is his wife Lucy's or not.  Lucy RORIE was Judith RORIE's sister, and Judith RORIE married Joshua WALKER, Stan's great-great grandfather.  Joshua and Judith are buried in this cemetery.)
