The oldest headstone that we came across in the graveyard was to the
memory of John Neagle who died on 23 March 1760, aged 69. Another old
headstone of mention that we found in the graveyard was in memory of Thomas
Franklin who died on 15 June 1766 at the age of 104 according to the inscription
on the headstone.
