This land was owned by John William Spivey and his wife, Margaret Mary Ann Sorsby, and was known as the Josiah Spivey tract. Josiah was John's father. John & Margaret Mary Ann sold the land to their daughter, Janetta Belle Spivey, wife of Thomas Early Draper, in the late 1890's. Janetta also purchased the portion of land that her sister Mary "Mollie" Spivey owned. Janetta's and Thomas' son, Joseph Leborn Draper eventually owned the land which remained in his family until his heirs sold it about 1999/2000.
April 2001 - One of Joseph Leborn Draper's grandsons verified that this location was indeed the cemetery of our ancestors, Thomas Early Draper and Janetta Belle Spivey Draper. He didn't know who the others buried here might be, except for an infant son of his paternal uncle, Thomas Randolph "Babe" Draper.
A lot of research has been done to determine who is possibly buried in this location. In addition to the ones I've included buried in this cemetery, there may be others who we'll never know.
