\nFrom census records, Lydia was born between 1799 and 1801. Her exact death date is unknown, although she was enumerated in the 1860 census.
\nBased upon census records, Joe was born about 1804. He was found in the 1880 census, however in 1900, Ellen was enumerated as a widow.
\nNo specific evidence has been found to suggest why Joe McDaniel established this burial ground at this location, if in fact he actually did. Joe & Lydia were not living at the location when she died. Perhaps there were earlier burials of family, and Joe returned Lydia here when she died as opposed to burying her on their own property.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
