This is likely T. Blair Halsey, the son of William Cecil Halsey and Rebecca Hash. He is buried next to them in the cemetery. The Halsey Genealogies by both Rufus Clinton Halsey and David Halsey give the following info on T. Blair Halsey: Born 10-27-1858. Died 7-30-1906. Buried in Cease Halsey Cemetery. Rufus also notes he was single when he died and that he drowned when he fell from a boat. Rufus received his information from Crockett Halsey.
The New River Notes, which based its information on a physical survey of the cemetery, gave his death as 30 Jul 1905 and recorded that at death he was "age 11 yr 9 mo 3 days." For some reason there is a discrepancy between the sources on when he was born. The death date is off also but by exactly one year to the day. T. Blair does not show up in any of the censuses from 1860 to 1900. On this basis I am inclined to believe the record by New River Notes is the accurate one, as it is possible to be left out of one census but not multiple ones.
