This burial ground was used by the family of Capt. Matthew Farley a Veteran of the Revolutionary War. It is located in the tree-line in a little woods on the Dorothy Myers farm in Franklin Township section #17 about one-half mile North of County Road #700N and one-half mile East of county Road #250E. It is has been neglected for many years and is completely overgrown. There are several pieces of grave markers here, but a few are still readable. I suspect there are more burials here than are listed in this list that was recorded in 1932 by C. S. Goar. A Memorial marker has been placed in the Lewisville cemetery in honor of Capt. Matthew Farley, but he is buried here in this little Farley family plot.
