* It appears a professional level survey of this cemetery was done within the last 5 years to determine where all graves are. Maybe ground radar or other means was applied to find the unmarked graves. On the north side and scattered about the graveyard are about 10 wooden stakes that mark graves that were found as not having tombstone. These stakes will succumb to age in several years, so these photos will become valuable in determining the total number & location of the graves in this cemetery. This number is about 20 including these stakes. Just about every graveyard has unmarked graves, if you ponder your ancestor as having died in this area study this and the Census data.
I can say for sure my ancestors with lost graves, Drewy Austin (d. 1831) & Betsy Gurley Austin (d. aft 1831 but before 1840) lived here in the headwaters area of the West Fork of Mulberry Creek. However in my case I have been unable to pinpoint within a 3 miles radius the location of their land. As you notice none of these marked graves are older than 1876, so before that all the graves here were unmarked, if this cemetery existed prior to 1876.  CWA.
