\n\u201cHale \u2013 3 mi N of Jonesboro on the old stage road from Jonesboro to Boones Creek near Marvin\u2019s Chapel on the old Mahlon Susong farm \u2013 500 yards NW of his house.\u00a0 Established in 1789 by Henry Hale and his wife Harriet.\u00a0 It was discontinued in 1919.\u00a0 There are 12 graves.\u201d
\nThe year of establishment is suspect, as Henry and Harriet weren\u2019t born until the late 1790\u2019s.\u00a0 If the burial ground use was continued until 1919, which also may be suspect, then it would have been used by the Susong family \u2013 see deed trail for additional information.<\/p>\n

GPS:<\/strong> Exact location is unknown
\nLocation:<\/strong>\u00a0 The exact burial ground location has not been able to be determined.\u00a0 Utilizing deed research, the boundaries of the farm have been determined and are shown in the accompanying aerial photograph.\u00a0 Most of the area is currently housing development in the \u201cRidges Subdivision\u201d.\u00a0 Using the bearing and distance from the WCCL notation, as well as a descendant\u2019s description of the old Mahlon Susong homeplace location, a \u201cbest guess\u201d location for the burial ground would be where Whispering Lake Drive is located \u2013 on the northwest side of the small pond north of Boone\u2019s Creek.\u00a0 The topography is higher elevation there, and would suit to a burial ground.<\/p>\n

Deed History \u2013<\/strong>
\nDeeds reviewed have been silent on any existence of a burial ground.
\nDeed Book 45, Page 247 \u2013 1875 \u2013 Joseph L. Hale and Martha E. Hale to Mahlon Susong \u2013 approximately 101 acres.\u00a0 Joseph Lane Hale acquired title from his father, Henry Hale, and that is so noted in the deed.\u00a0 Overlaying the metes & bounds with the present tax maps, plus understanding where the Mahlon Susong homeplace was situated aided in the estimation of the burial ground location.
\nHenry (1797-1850) & Harriet Hale (1797-1874).\u00a0 Harriet Hale was the former Sarah Harriet Kincheloe.<\/p>\n

Burials \u2013<\/strong>
\nUnknown
\nAs the area is covered with newer homes, and ground has substantially been disturbed\/graded, no traces of depressions and\/or markers exist.\u00a0 It is entirely possible that the graves remain undisturbed under lawn areas, as no reports of disturbance surfaced during construction.<\/p>\n
