Whilst one of them just may on the site of the one established by our ancestor, HOWELL WALL (ca. 1769-1822), and possibly have had the earliest burials but without original nor extant tombstones. One would have to check their respective locations (township, range, and section) with the probable cemetery locations (township, range, and section) that I uncovered in Amite County MS deeds. I provided these latter locations very precisely to you in my earlier (January 8th) post on this forum, and which I quoted from page 353 in the 2009 REVISED EDITION (not the 2002 ORIGINAL EDITION that you have) of my family history book. One might assume that there was an old cemetery contiguous with the location of the original church. Of course, wherever the cemetery was located, there would not likely be tombstones, as was generally true for early 19th century Mississippi and elsewhere. P.S. Per your alert, I did purchase and subsequently receive the FAMILY MAPS book for Amite County MS, but was sad to see that all maps therein referred to deeds that were mid-19th century and thereafter.
