The answer to your question is no. However I may not be the best source. When Tamra Robins Philips referred to the cemetery she said "Stones", I took that in the plural since. Aunt Mae Harrington and Aunt Eltha Teague may have heard someone refer to the cemetery and may know of someone else buried in the cemetery. I am forwarding these notes to Aunt Mae in the hopes that she has some information to add. She is very internet literate and enjoys the study of history.
