Notes:

Excerpt from Pritchard Kin regarding tombstones:
"On 23 August 2004, Jo and I tried to visit Thomas and Mourning Turlington's graves. We were accompanied by Mr. Newman Smith and later joined by Tad Jackson. Both guides grew up nearby and had visited the cemetery many times in their youth. Mr. Smith said he was eighty-three. Tad said he was seventy-three. Tad Jackson said he last visited the cemetery about thirty to forty years ago. Our mother described the cemetery location in her book (Tombstone Inscriptions, p. 51.

Alas, the cemetery has been obliterated. The location is now an irrigated cornfield). It is not far from a tributary to Limestone Creek. (Strick Newsom-February 2005)."
