If they are family you would think they would be buried in close proximity to one another. ALL of the graves are in close proximity to one another as this is a VERY VERY small graveyard. As best I can determine there are only a total of 23 stones (but 24 folks are buried there because one of the stones is a double). I can tell you the Potters are all buried right beside one another; but the only other thing I can tell you is that the rest of the graves are at some distance from the Potters. I didn't take all these photos - they were sent to me by a gal who just moved into the new housing development. It's been many years since I was at the site but if memory serves there didn't seem to be any order to the cemetery (graves for the most part didn't appear to be in rows, etc.) they looked like they'd been placed grouped around under trees, etc. While I'm not positive I'd guess that all these EVANS graves are right beside one another - but as I said even if they aren't right beside one another they are still in close proximity simply because the cemetery is so very small. ELI must certainly BE related to John (and judging from birth years) would most likely be a brother. Interesting to note is the fact that John's daughter Mary Catherine was one of the EARLIEST burials in the cemetery; she died on 27 Aug 1863 and there are only 2 other stones which predate this (one for Sabry Williams w/o Thomas Williams who died on 26 Oct 1862 and one for her son N. G. Williams who died Oct 1862) so Mary Catherine Evans was the 3rd person to be buried in the cemetery and her father John was the 4th. I will email the gal who sent the photos to me and ask her if she made notes as to who was buried beside whom, etc. and I'll let you know how these EVANS are situated. Have about a jillion questions for you--I too enjoy having someone to join the hunt (two heads are sure better than one!)
