Rev. Edwin M. Southgate, who furnished this list, remarks that the custom of raising stones to the dead was less common before the war than now. With some few exceptions it is still difficult to get the parishioners to look after their burial lots. this curious neglect prevails in spite of the fact that most of them are of the old colonial stock, and very much attached to the memories of their ancestors.  An old register of Upper and Lower Zachaiah and Mattawoman congregations is preserved at this church and from it Rev. Ed. Southgate has made the following extracts:

1794.
Ann Johnson, wife to John Johnson	died	June	28,	born	1729.

Jas. O'Brien	"	Oct.	25,	"	1730.
The widow Ann Sanders	"	Dec.	23,	"	1725.
