      NOTES FROM RESEARCHER 2016
      We don't know where Sylvester Halsey, Caroline Anderson Halsey Cox, or Sylvester's first wife, Mary Young Halsey are buried.
      But, William "Sheep Bill" Halsey (for whom the cemetery was named, was Sylvester's son by Mary Young.
      The cemetery is located on what was Sheep Bill's farm, which he inherited from Sylvester.
      Bottom line, I would bet money that Sylvester, Mary, and Caroline are all also buried there, but no grave markers have survived.
      This cemetery, by the way, has essentially disappeared - it was never protected by the later property owners who allowed their cattle to roam over the cemetery and gradually destroy the stones. [1]
