Unnamed Cemetery, 62-4 Summary Report, page 29

---

The point of these land ownership records through the 1800s is that all of the owners of the NW/4 of Section 25 were white families. It was never owned by black families in the 1800s, so if the little unmarked cemetery is as old as it appears, then only white family members of some of these owners should be buried there - unless perhaps Richard Lipscomb or one of the other early owners has some slaves buried in that spot. It is possible, for example, that Elijah Boardman could have allowed some of his slaves to be buried on his land in the NW/4 of Section 25. The census records for his family (including the slaves) are shown below, enumerated near Isaac Inman: 29 - (2327)
