Lloyd relates, "The attached file is for a Matthews Cemetery in Sussex County. It is north of Route 24 and two miles west of Lowes Crossroads. It is in the edge of a field just off Sam Hill Road. I have been able to record forty people of those buried with information from the field and various sources. Steve Matthews and Carlene Campbell, both local residents, have started repairing the cemetery." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This file is wide, drag the bottom scroll bar to see the entire file. ======================================================================================================================================================================================================= Buried 1st Generation 2nd Generation 3rd Generation 4th Generation 5th Generation Born Died Longevity ======================================================================================================================================================================================================= 1.
