The listings build on records of gravestone inscriptions from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by Alfred Vail (1851), Mary Johnson Parker (1931), and more recently on research of church records and mapping of gravesites by church member Scott Shepherd (1990’s – 2008). The current website listings, updated maps, and search tools are the work of Rich Albright. Recent cleaning of markers throughout the graveyard by John and Susan Moschberger and systematic photographing of gravestones by Carol Allison have allowed us to read some previously illegible markers and update information for some listings.
Although far more people may have been buried here, records were not consistently kept, stones have deteriorated or vanished, and many burials may not have been marked at all. The result is that the current listings document almost 1600 persons and over 1100 grave markers or family monuments in the historic graveyard. Around 140 individuals are interred in the Memorial Garden at present.
