Just a thought for all of you searching very old graves, sometimes the
Sexton of the cemetery has them on record. That would be a good source once
you find the cemetery.

Newson's name. It made me wonder if perhaps this cemetery is not included
in the publication. Would anyone on the list know where this cemetery is
located? Was it included in the publication of cemetery records?
