I'm sending this to both Taylor and Talbot, since this area was a part of Talbot until 1852. I noticed the family graveyard mentioned, and wondered if anyone knew anything about this family. My guess is that Dennis Sheridan and his wife, Mary would have been buried there. Their daughter, Lou Fletcher, first married G.W. Sewell - 1862, and then married Thomas Jarrell (as Thomas 1st wife). She is alive in 1870 with a 1 year old daughter, Lucy, but he is married in 1880 to Mary McCants and Lucy is 11. The Jarrell family (at least the Jarrell Community) is located very near this land lot. pg 548 Taylor Co Deed Book B Taylor Court of Ordinary James M.
