ALL THE CEMETERY RECORDS WERE LOST, SO NO RECORD OF THE UNMARKED GRAVES EXISTS. BY GRIFFIS FAMILY TRADITION TOMMY (THOMAS  WOODIN C. 1855, WAS BURIED IN AN UNMARKED GRAVE IN THIS CEMETERY. I HOPE THIS INFO HELPS SOME OF YOU.

By tradition you must be a Wells by birth or marriage to be buried here, as this land is still owned by the Wells Family whose ancesters are buried here.
