On Wednesday, May 1, 1811, James Looker received a land patent in Violet Township encompassing the south half of Section 11, which included this cemetery plot in the original issuance. James Looker recently arrived at the time and settled in Fairfield County. As of Friday, October 19, 1810, the record indicated James still remained a resident of Rockingham County, Virginia. The Rice, Rhoades, and Beard families owned land in the southwest corner of Section 11 and were buried here as well. More early residents rest with the plots below, however the stones, remnants, and stories remain lost to time.
