In the book OLD SETTLERS OF HICKORY TREE BY C. Hopkins the writer relates a story he calls History of Old Cemetery at Hickory Tree. He states " I have before me an old paper dated the 21st day of June 1836 that was presented to me by G. D. O�Dell who found it while making the rounds of his farm. The paper contains names of subscribers who were to pay for building a plank fence around the cemetery of John M. Blevins Cemetery, now known as Shipley Cemetery." Listed I found Toliver Boling $1.00, Walter Boling, $1.00, Isaac Boling, Jr., 50 cents and Jacob B. Boling, 50 cents. I feel that Tolliver and Isaac had relatives buried there or they would not have contributed to the building of a fence. Most graves in those days were marked with wooden markers or just plain field stones, so I doubt we will ever know for sure where John Sr., Elizabeth, Tolliver, and Telitha are buried.
