James Wriston is buried at White Oak cemetery behind Lynn Maynor's house because I have visited that cemetery. He has a civil war tombstone. Almira & Grant Maynor are buried there in unmarked graves. I beleive Lynn Maynor knows which ones, our families should go together and put some kind of marking especially before Lynn dead. Then we will lose the location. There are civil war veterans buried in that Cemetery.
