HI: Jonathan creek area that is mentioned in these articles is west of Garden Grove. The first river bridge is the Weldon River the second River bridge ( approx. 3 miles ) is the Jonathan River bridge. The Jonathan creek community was between what we know as J20 south to hiway # 2 west of Highpoint .(approx. 2.5 miles west of Highpoint) at which it runs into the weldon river.In Highpoint twp. there is 3 cemeterys Highpoint,Trullinger & Mc Allister. Reynolds & McAllister schools are. usually mentioned.We have to remember that a lot of the farms in this area were 40s & 80s (acres) I was raised in this area, my what a lot of interesting history & folk lore. The Jonathan Creek cemetery mentioned was probably the McAllister cemetery.This cemetery is located in Highpoint twp. it is back in a field with a marker on the road naming it the McCullough Cemetery.
