All the above are in the part of the old graveyard now remaining. Some of the stones have been misplaced since this transcription was made. The oldest inscription to be seen there, forty or fifty years ago was in the southeast corner of the ground, on land not now within the graveyard fence, but the stone has long since disappeaared.-J.V.
(NOTE: J.V. I believe stands for James Vroom, a respected Charlotte County Historian.)
