    3. Shawnee, My 2nd great grandmother, Martha Fitton (Finton?) HARRISON, died on 20 Feb 1856 and was one of the early burials in Buckeye although she is not listed. She immigrated to Hancock Co. from England in 1843 with her husband John Harrison (1796-1864) and her children, several of whom are buried in Buckeye. The sons buried at Buckeye are John (1820-1884), James (1822-1883), William (1824-1901) and Edward "Ned" (1827-1910). Many of the other burials are their wives, children and extended family. Joseph F. Oliver, who was John and Martha F. Harrison's only daughter's child, was buried there in 1859. Also I think it is interesting that one of the last people to be buried there was William Harrisons daughter, Barbara Etheline Harrison Altheide, in 1958. I was surprised to note the one burial as early as 1834 (Eliza O. Barnett). Except for that one and an infant buried in 1845, it looks like burials started in earnest there around 1855 and ceased in the 1960s. Thank you for all your time and efforts in taking on this project. Madonna in KY
