    3. I was invited to view this cemetery today. There are many people here that are excluded from the cemetery records. Those I found there that were in the cemetery records & what was included in the records. Cemetery records say Sarah Hill, but we can see the stone says Sallie C. Hill. This is the same person, because it states she was the daughter of J.T./ The stone continues stating Sallie was the daughter of J.T. & Martha McClain. October 14, 1865 - May 3, 1892. Charley R. McClain / 1866 - 1931 (side by side with Minnie) Jas T. McClain / 1839 - ? (Father - Jeremiah T.) (Wife - Martha Ann ) Martha Ann McClain / 1842 - 1912 (Husband - Jas T.) Minnie McClain / 1871 - 1966 (Stone says 1956 & has her middle initial as B.) (Side by side with Charley R.) Lucy F. McCreary / June 22, 1854 - April 12, 1914 (Cemetery records exclude the death year) (Husband Philander) Philander McCreary / March 13, 1848 - January 31, 1912 (Cemetery records say January 22 as death date & exclude the year) (Wife Lucy F.) (Stone has his middle initial as T.) The rest I found were not in the cemetery records. They were: Children of W.W. & M.B. Shannon (How many ?) Infant daughter of W.W. & M.B. Shannon / January 1, 1891. Charles R. McClain / 1904 -19? (He may be here, or may be interred elsewhere.) Next to him was Frieda M. E. / 1908 - 1968. (His wife?) Charley A. McCreary / February 27, 1871 - November 26, 1901. Robert C. McClain / 1880 - 1911. Stuart Lee / August 16, 1891 - May 31, 1893. L.A. Gibson / 1886 - 1912. Fannie E. Gibson / ? There are a few broken stones, with this info I could read. Lottie F. Daughter of ? March 29, ? - June 17, 18? ? McClain May 11, 1838 . There are remains of a few other stones, but very hard to read. It is believed that there are others, whose stones are gone. Outside of the plot & down the hill, appears to be a few vertical stones used as grave markers. I believe these are slave graves, but not sure. Desoto Joe/The Record Man
