This graveyard is located to the east of Wingerton Road. The location was formerly a farm, but has since been turned into a housing development. The graveyard is about 25 yards east of Wingerton Road, behind the second house on the left traveling south on Wingerton Road. (Address- 14316 Wingerton Road).When I inspected the site Oct. 30, 1999, two of the three graves were lying flat, and were regularly mowed over. One grave was broken. All were still easily legible.
History:
Elias Davison (1736-1806), was the founder of the Davison family in Franklin County. He settled in the southeast section of Antrim Township about 1760. On March 19, 1771, he married Agnes McDowell (1748-1790), a daughter of Major John McDowell. Elias and Agnes Davison are both buried in this graveyard. Elias Davison's marker could not be found when we inspected the site Oct. 30, 1999.
