This is the information I have on the John Simpson Enloe family. I visited the Matheis Cemetery in July of 2002. I took pictures of all the Enloe's in the cemetery, not knowing the women's last names at the time, so unfortunately, I don't have pictures of their gravestones (Bond, Templeton, and Campbell). The Matheis Cemetery used to be known as the "Little Enloe Cemetery", but when John Simpson Enloe sold the farm to the Matheis', the name eventually changed to the Matheis Cemetery. It is located in the pasture down from the Matheis' home. It's enclosed in a fence and is extremely overgrown. I only saw one Matheis gravestone there, all the rest are Enloe's and their descendents.
