It is quite possible & probable that this cemetery also contains the grave of Thomas Henderson, born before 1756-died April 1818, the adoptive father of Larkin Day Henderson, who willed this land to Larkin in 1818.)
Special thanks to Elaine D. Tomkins (edtom@fuse.net) for suppling me with the information on this cemetery. I'm not sure at present if all these people are actually buried at the cemetery, but after I'm able to beat the brush down abit I will take an inventory.
