Hello Arley, thanks for your response. My 4 greats grandparents, Thomas Steele and Margaret Maxwell Steele, are supposed to be buried there. This is the portion of Thomas' will in 1845 that tells where Margaret was buried and where he requested to be buried. "and first I direct that my body be decently interred in the burying ground at Abner Neel's by the side of my wife’s grave according to the rites and ceremonies of the Presbyterian Church". He died in 1846. Any help you can offer will be most appreciated. Thanks again, Judy
