This cemetery was named by the Zoar Regular Baptist Church that was located on
this site in 1847.
Thomas Hamm called it the Lewelling Burial Grounds
in his cemetery books.
Old rumors have it that there are Indian burial
grounds on this site. A few years ago, Indian descendants from Florida
use to come here and have a ceremony every few years. This area was
populated by Indians in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
