Foster Byrd Graves
Information and photos updated December 21, 2007 by Buck Seibert
From the information on the Lake Atlas of 1883 and the name on the partial headstone I found at this site, I believe this to be the Foster Byrd Family Cemetery. Foster is shown on the map as living just across Licking Pike within a stones throw of the cemetery. The Byrd cemetery we have already listed is very close to the west on the Littleford (Shagbark) Farm. The Byrd's owned a lot of land in this area.
These names are verified as being in this cemetery. Sources include family notes and research material from the Campbell County Historical Society

Margaret True Gosney 28 Aug 1812 – 8 Aug 1888 wife of Foster Byrd

available.......possibly the broken stone in two pieces in the picture.

picture of the stone in 3 pieces but missing first name.
