This is a rather large cemetery with several graves marked with field stones and some unmarked.  It’s possible that Jesse & Elizabeth Weddle are buried here.

Dennis and Margaret Catherine (called “Cathy”) Hylton had a son Daniel E.  1859-1865, who was killed by a falling tree.  Likely Daniel is buried here.
