WCCL: There are only 12 graves in this plot, and it evidently was abandoned soon after the Meadows family was buried here. This graveyard was started by Emanuel Meadows. His wife, Mrs. Pheelander Meadows is also buried here. His son, John and Mr. E. Meadows’ second wife are also buried here. This family came from Virginia.
In her book on the Little Family, Dessie Simmons says that John Little, son of John and Elizabeth Carr Little, 1806-1862 was buried here, on what was at one time Little property. She said there was only one stone there now, M.C. Collins. Robert and I did not find that stone. LBR.
