Originally 35-40 stones in cem--on farm once owned by the Enlows; formerly owned by Bert Elliott, now owned by Normal Copley.-- only these stones found- but Davis, Smith & Skaggs were there along with others:
Smith, J. W. (ch of Lemuel & Cynthia) 6 Oct 1828 - Aug 1829
Smith, Alice (dau of Lemuel & Silba) 27 Feb 1828 - 11 Aug 1829 (who is she?? & who is Lemuel & Silba??)
Reed, Jane Amanda 7 Oct 1834 - 15 Mar 1835
Reid, Allad or Jead - hand carved with no dates.
MERRIFIELD, MILTON d 20 Dec 1828? aged 15? years. (the date and age hard to read- very weathered).
Isn't it interesting that Lemuel & Cynthia Merrifield Smith end up in Warren Co, IL--the same county where Benoni & Delila Abbott Merrifield is also???? Benoni b TN(1850 Cen)/Ky(1860); Delila Abbott, b Ky, d/o Johnston Abbott & Lydia Tucker (d/o George Tucker & Mary Merrifield).
Do not know yet IF Lemuel & Cynthia Merrifield Smith died in Warren Co, IL. Still looking for John Read/Reid/Reed & Juliet Merrifield- they supposidly came to IL, too but have not been able to find them to date.
Still looking for a connect between Lemuel Smith b 1780-90; d after 1850 Warren Co, IL????? & Samuel Smith, s/o James & Rachel, who m Phoebe RUDE 12 Mar 1815 Hardin Co, Ky. Phoebe Rude, d/o Asher & Elizabeth Woodburn Rude.
Samuel's father James' will lists children but no son Lemuel. It would not be beyond the realm of possibility that James & Lemuel's father were brothers.
Both Samuel & Lemuel b 1780-1790. Samuel d 10 Feb 1866 LaRue Co & wife Phoebe Rude Smith d 1871 LaRue Co. She is in the 1870 Cen in the household of her son Worden R. Smith.
Know Lemuel Smith & John Reed/Read (m Juliet Merrifield, d/o Alex'r) were real good friends-- supposedly both from Mass.
Too many connections between the Rude, Merrifield, Smith, Carr, Read/Reed/Reid, Tucker (also a branch in Hardin Co), etc families of Hardin Co., Ky.
