In 1828 there were no public cemeteries here. Most people were buried on the farm where they lived. Of course, many instances where there were farms in the 1800s today are nothing but forests. A land deed might give a clue as to where they lived. Deeds must be searched at the courthouse in Chatham. That kind of search would involve costs.
