The enumeration of inscriptions in this Record has been made according to the following plan: The ground is divi- ded naturally into five Sections, which are named the North, the Middle North, the Middle South, the South and the West Sections. For convenience of indexing, the North Section is called No. I; the Middle North, No. II; the Middle South, No. III; the South, No. IV ; the West, No. V.
It was contemplated arranging the inscriptions accord- ing to family lots, but on careful examination it was found that the bounds of a large number of lots were too defective for accurate description; consequently the enumeration has been made in each Section following the rows of stones, be- ginning at the West numbering them as they stand, from North to South in each Section. The index of names will show the location of family burials.
The figures enclosed in brackets refer to the annotation in the appendix,
