According to Dessie Simmons and the late Mary Hardin McCown, Jonas Little is probably buried here, as this was his land. His descendants have placed a marker to him in the Miller Cemetery on Knob Creek Road. Jonas Little, 1735-1818, was the son of Thomas and Mary Denton Little. He served in the French and Indian Wars and the Revolutionary War. His wife, Rebecah is probably buried here. Also probably buried here are Louvisa Little Boring and her husband Vincent Boring. She was the daughter of John Little (son of Jonas and Rebecah) and Elizabeth Carr Little (daugher of John and Louvisa Isbell Carr). According to Mrs. Simmons, there were probably about 30 graves at one time.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

William F. King bought the land from Jonas Little. King married Ruth Little, her relationship to Jonas is unknown. Members of the King family were then buried here. Henry King, a Civil War Veteran has been moved to Monte Vista.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
