Notes:
1.  This chart, was prepared from information from the Julia Chwalik survey, the William Leeper survey, the Rhyne, Grissop and Waldrop survey, the Davis, Beavers, and Coggins survey, photographs by Mark and Cindy Beasley, photographs by John Gillon and photographs by Mike Bowen.
2.   A comparison of the Chwalik listing, the Leeper listing, the Rhyne, Grissop and Waldrop listing and the Davis, Beavers, and Coggins listing indicates that the four listings are somewhat incomplete.  Several gravesites are omitted from all four listings.  I have attempted to accurately merge them, and to provide other information.
