Looking for an old burial ground north of Fountain Church on the old Borden place. The
nearby stream was called Bogard in the early 1800's and Wilson Creek which emptied
into Half-Moon Spring, now known as Harrison Spring. It is site of William Henry
Harrison's Grist Mill, once ran by Abraham Harmon. There was a broken stone nearby
against a tree with name "Viney B.", now missing. What was her last name??
The story passed down was that the family got a highly contagious disease and most of them
died with the remainder burying them in a common grave covered with fieldstones and they
were just passing through and the remainder went west. The neighbors stood on the
hillsides and watched and paid their respects that way. I can't seem to find anyone by
that surname.
