This material is under copyright. No part may be reproduced, in whole or in part, in any form, without the specific written permission of the author.
Mrs. Buys notes that only stones of people born before and through the calendar year of 1850 were transcribed, and "that numerous plain fieldstone markers and unmarked, but evident, graves, were found", in addition to those listed.
