A transcription has been done and, hopefully, it will be uploaded to the Church's website soon. Contact the Church to see a map. Ten graves from the Old Swamp Cemetery are incorporated into the cemetery. Five veterans of the French & Indian War are marked with a British flag. There are 29 Revolutionary War, 1 War of 1812, 1 Civil War and 3 WWII veterans buried here.
