THE FOLLOWING IS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS CEMETERY.

 

I have also found this cemetery called the Martin Cemetery and the French Graveyard.

It was probably called the Martin Cemetery after John Martin, who once owned ground here around

the cemetery or much more likely the ground the cemetery is on.  Many of John Martins relatives are buried in this cemetery as well as John and his wife Margaret.

The name French Graveyard was used on Margaret Nethery's death certificate.  The name probably

came from Governor Augustus French, who owned property next to the cemetery.

In 1865, John Nethery and his wife Margaret, bought the ground on which the cemetery sits and the ground to the south, east and west of the cemetery.  The ground on which the cemetery sits stayed in the Nethery family for over 100 years, until about 1970.  So it became know as the Nethery Cemetery.

The cemetery is now taken care of by Lamotte Township.  (Per Fredda Nethery Brimberr)

 

 

Sarah Nethery, daughter of John and Margaret Crawford Nethery (who are buried in this cemetery),

married William Martin, son of Hezekiah and Nancy McColpin Martin.
