Some of the names in this thread are unknown, but the Byers surname brought a renewed interest. This is not the whole listing for this small cemetery, however I'm listing the known residents. FYI I did bless this private cemetery on June 10, 2007. Margaret(b.1813); James H.(b.1808); Walker M.D.(b.1852); Sue(b.1855); Ansel(b.1850); Bettie Davis(b.1859); James V(b.1840); John; Effie; Lowery(b.1823); A Lincoln(b.1861); Nancy E.(b.1854); JW(b.1885); Effie E(b.1880); John R(b.1835); Ellen(b.1850). Technical questions I can't answer, but I have more stone data. I have a footstone with initials of HDB/JHB. The only initials that make sense here would be the possibility of this stone belonging to James H Byers and James' wife. Just a possibility.... Lastly, the other surnames here are Stinson, Ezell, DeWees, and Dotson. I hope this helps someone. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
