Notes
Note 1: These five (5) burials are based on death certificates of African American individuals. When Gayle Carver copied the cemetery in the 1930s, Chester Edwards also had a stone or marker.
On January 26, 1871, E.M. Brank, M.C. Hay, and Alney M. Dennis, Elders of the Presbyterian Church at Greenville, were appointed Trustees of the church and sold to Bunnell Wickliffe, Ephraim Salsberry, and Richard Lucas, Trustees of the First Baptist Church (Colored) in Greenville, a lot of ground and some brick. This was the Presbyterian Church property located on the present Court Row on the corner adjacent to the Old Cemetery. (Smith 46)
Note 2: When the Old Greenville Cemetery was copied in 1973 the burial ground was in a deplorable condition. It was covered with heavy growth of weeds, underbrush & small trees. All stones that were upright or could be found above ground were copied. Sometime in the 1930s Mr. Gayle Carver, Greenville, Ky., had made a copy of this cemetery and very graciously gave a copy of his version to the compiler. The remaining entries are from his copy & these stones are possibly beneath the ground or otherwise missing (Hammers 4:39).
Note 3: When Gayle Carver made a transcription of the Old Greenville Cemetery in the 1930s, he copied this stone as Ann Campbell, who departed this life Jan. 8, 1838, aged 1 year & 1 mo. When M.J. Edgeworth transcribed the cemetery in 1963 for LDS, the stone was listed as Ann Campbell, died Jan. 18, 1838, age 14 years. When the cemetery was walked in 1973 for Hammers, it was copied as Wm. C. Campbell, who departed this life Jan. 8, 1838, aged 4 years & 1 month. All three transcriptions appear in this cemetery listing.
Note 4: When Gayle Carver made a transcription of the Old Greenville Cemetery in the 1930s, he copied this gravestone as Sabina F., wife of J.L. Williams, Feb. 13, 1810 - Nov. 13, 1874. When the cemetery was recopied in 1973, the stone had eroded enough to become: Sarah __, dau. of J.L. Williams, Feb. 13, 1870 - Nov. 1874.
