Welcome to the Washington Co. list, Matt... Question for you, since you have been to the Glade Springs Cemetery. Is the church there, the old Rush Cr. Primitive Baptist? I had Moses LINDSEY and Catharine (Caty) MYERS/MIRES LINDSEY who were married by elder John Jones Jr from that church in 1813. They were 68 and 72 years old on the 1860 census, Lodi Post Office, and were not on the 1870 census. Wonder if they may be resting there. Don't have the High on a Windy Hill books, so would be curious if there are any LINDSEY or MYERS/MIRES. RAMBO, and JOHNSON also related families.
