According to www.findagrave.com, Phillip Null and his wife, Anna Margaret Boschung, are buried in the Swon cemetery in or near Point Pleasant, Mason County, West Virginia.
This is from a website for the West Virginia Cemetery Preservation Association:"My grandparents are buried at Moss Chapel. My five time great grandfather was the son of Charles Clendenin for whom the capital of the state of WV is named. My five time GG is named Alexander....He is buried at a little known but still existent cememtery in West Virginia named Swon Cemetery...but it is on private land and in great disrepair...Can you help me locate it? __________ Hi Greg, Coincidentally we just had another inquiry about the Swon Cemetery from a descendant of Capt. Philip Null. They too were looking for the location of the cemetery. Unfortunately, all we have to go on is a description for some 40 years ago, printed in Mason County, W.Va. Cemetery Inscriptions: "Rt. 62 N. to Homer Smith farm. Opposite Potter Creek road, a Sand & Gravel Co. sign, go out dirt road to home of a Mt. Chattin. Behind it remains of a cattle pen. At one time a large orchard was there, and there were many stones. When the late Mrs. Charlotte Steenbergen was writing her "McCulloch" in 1962 we went with Mrs. Everett (Mae Chattin) Sayre to see if we could find remains of stones, as she remembered seeing them stacked beside the fence. This land was owned by 'Pioneer' John McCulloch, then Swon family, then late Lycurgus Knight; ground was frequently flooded, and some moved." Hope this helps some."
