Surnames:

1.Hardyman 2. Pollitt 3.Lane There were many more family names & several children. I am unable to find the list of names that I made. I slipped into the cemetery while the cattle were grazing elsewhere.

Other_Information:

There are several large, elaborate, stones that look to be of black granite,also some marble.These date back to the early 1800s.The small stones had heart rendering messages.There were many smaller gravestones & field stone markers.The fence and road were removed several years ago.It is used for pasture. The two trees in the cemetery are used for shade by the cattle.So,they spend a lot of time there. Some stones are still intact, but many are overturned or broken. The owner has mentioned that he will bulldoze the site, as it is a nusiance.
