In 1977, Owen D. Mort wrote about a grave site located near the Pittsburg Cemetery but not in the cemetery itself. This grave, or these graves, were one mile up Chequest Creek. The marble tombstone(s) was roughly 24 inches high with the name Ingraham inscribed upon it. The graves were close to the grist mill of Samuel Clayton, which was dismantled before 1900. In 1910 or 1912, the land was planted and the tombstone was removed.

There was a family named Ingraham that lived in Van Buren County in the 1850s. The family was from Connecticut, the oldest were born in the late 1700s or early 1800s,and they are the most probably family that fits Mr. Mort's description.
