To All: Well, if the old Conecuh cemetery is that close to Wm's first land holdings (Section 10, T. 7N, R. 11E) at the confluence of the East & West Sepulga Rivers, it would seem pretty certain that he and Sally, and likely Wm's youngest daughter, SARAH CAROLINE, (born Feb 14, 1816 in Feliciana Parish, LA and died October 8, 1819 in Conecuh) are all buried there. How about Daniel's son, Daniel Eli Sebastian Witherington, who died in Conecuh May 9, 1842 at about age 3? That would have been BEFORE the establishment of the present Witherington Cemetery. Anyone have any details on DANIEL ELI SEBASTIAN WITHERINGTON?? And what about Daniel's daughter, FRANCES MELISSA WITHERINGTON, who died Aug 31, 1862??? She died about age 20 (she was 18 on the 1860 Conecuh census). I figure that she could have been the daughter mentioned that was ill when Daniel selected the spot for the new Witherington Cemetery, in anticipation of her death. As I recall, Daniel was the first burial at the new Cemetery, right? Anyone have any details on Frances Melissa? Dan, will we need to rent four wheel drive vehicle (s) to get us all back into the cemetery area in April??? And if so, where is the most convenient spot to rent something? I hope Mr. Ward will be there to join us, as he might be able to answer questions for all of us.

Dan says the cemetery is about 1/2 mile or so from the Sepulga river. It is on high ground. Sure they did it because of flooding. EEB
