Matt, I also have these people on my family tree. Most Lanesborough families are intertwined through marriages in Lanesboro and before coming to Lanesboro. I was only looking for direct family in the short time I had to be in Lanesboro a few years ago. I believe Lower and Center Cemetery are the same. The cemetery is two tiered. Many of the stones ar difficult to read and would take a long time to find them all. I have a book on Lanesborough and it lists Lower Cemetery, those are the graves that I found at Cemeter Cemetery. Those listed in the book were on the lower tier, my famly on the upper tier was not in the book. The book does not give the maiden names of the women but when I visited many of the maiden names or parent names were on the tombstones. I live in Missouri so I can't help with pictures. I have been to vist twice but each time have only had an hour or two to stay. The city hall said they do not have records very far back. No one seems to know what happened to them. Stephen and Elizabeth are also listed in the Lower Cemetery in the book I have. My Williams family has been left off in the Gen-Web site for Center Cemetery.
