People living in the area say there are several people buried here, however, they do not know who they are and only two stones have survived. [DSJ 1985] Some of these lost burials may be of the surname Bragg such as h. & w. Thomas B., b 1802 & Sarah Sally Bayless Bragg, b. 1805 Widowed Sarah Sally Bragg was found a couple of houses removed from the Power family in 1850 and cannot be located in a graveyard. However there are other lost cemeteries along Frank Hereford road with unmarked graves that I have been unable to explore including many lost graves in the nearby Jacks Cemetery. Their son Sanford Bragg and his wife Elizabeth Ford are also missing from the graveyards in that neighborhood. [CWA 21 Sep 2014]
