Status as reported by William Evans. Survey by William Evans in February 2022.

The property in 2022 is owned by Marcie Hursting and Carol Mohan but it can be traced back to my 4th great grandfather Solomon Harding. His land bordered the land of Major Lewis Evans (who was also my 4th great grandfather) and there were two marriages between these families; so I believe there are Evanses and Hardings buried there. Here are the ones we know about for sure according to a living family member who remembers visiting the cemetery as a child. She knows that her brother, grandmother, and great grandmother are buried there.

All of these graves are marked only with a stone and there are nine others. If you're wondering why there are two spellings of Harding/Harden, it's because one branch of the family spelled it with an "en" while the other four branches stuck with "ing." I would guess it's because lots of people were illiterate back then and they didn't know or realize the difference
