My gg-grandmother was buried (1850) out in a field in Hampshire Co, together with some of her children; this burial place was listed in Vicki Horton's Springfield Area Cemeteries (or whatever the book is called, don't have it with me) only because it is on land that happened to be owned by Vicki's father at the time she was compiling data and he mentioned it to her. Who knows how many other old graves are scattered around the county in people's fields.
