Add PhotosSometime since those two inventories, this cemetery has evidently been further destroyed, and the remaining broken pieces of the stones were placed, lying flat, as cenotaphs in the Black Creek Methodist Church Cemetery between a Mallard Family plot and a Willis Family plot. All photographs on these pages are from their location today (2008). The burials remain, unmarked, at the Green Family Cemetery.
Further damage to the cemetery, and then removal of the stone pieces to safety in the church cemetery, have provided the seventh as well as an eighth headstone: the memorials of two BENNETT infants, born to a GREEN daughter in the 1850s, had not been inventoried by the DAR in the mid-1950s. The church cemetery collection of these stones today consists of:
• Three headstones with matching footstones, and
• Four additional headstones which lack footstones.
One of the headstones inventoried by the DAR and by Mrs. Youmans, that of Thomas GREEN 1787-1853, is quite large and remains at the original cemetery site, and is reported here as found in the two previous inventories.
