Add PhotosLocated on Nine Mile Creek on the former George and I. W. Schoeppel land on IL Route 3 about one mile north of Ellis Grove, Randolph Co., IL.
David Pagan lived on Nine Mile Creek for several years in the 1780s. He had a cabin there with a cemetery (still called the Pagan Cemetery) near the cabin; it is assumed to be the family cemetery. His first wife, Elizabeth Ferrell Pagan, died about 1787 and is probably buried here, but there are no recorded Pagan burials due to there being no records from these earliest years. After Elizabeth's death, David sold his land in Illinois and returned to Virginia. The cemetery continued to be used by local residents for at least another century, but only a small number of graves are documented.
