Wayne, I don't have a copy of Dan Oates's cemetery inventory. The Romney library has one though. As far as I know, Berg was not a family name. At some point the house was called "The Berg". As I recall the people in the cemetery are descendents of Isaac Means - surnames Taylor and Williams. One of Isaac Means's daughters or granddaughters married one of the sons of Daniel Taylor, the Rev War Vet buried near Reese's Mill. Then their daughter married a Williams. I don't remember what this cemetery is called in Danny's publication. The gravel storage area where the cemetery is located is posted with BIG No Trespassing signs. I think I know who to ask to get permission to go in and read the stones. I'll check on this in the next few weeks.
