2004 Site Update

Phil Goldsborough recorded the cemetery at 27213 Mt. Vernon Road. His notes state that the house just south of the cemetery had been owned by Cecil Watson, earlier of Chicago, Illinois. S. Street and Prettyman had signed the plaster on a wall in the house.

At the time of the March 2004 visit, the house was occupied by Ron McIntire and his wife. McIntire reported that the house and cemetery are on the ancient tract of land called Covington's Meadow.
