Hezekiah, Willis et al are all buried at Spain/Maple Grove as far as I know.I have many, many pictures of the grave stones from the cemetery already posted on the Spain family site run by Bob Sollars.The only area I have not photographed extensively is the front or older section where the original travelers from Dinwiddie Co. are buried and those stones are in very bad condition for the most part due to the beautiful maple trees that contributed a lot of moisture and moss from the shade.The cemetery is, from what I understand, located on Hezekiah's original patent though I do not have that verified.I do know, however, that the original methodist church was on his land and that it makes sense that the first burials would be near the church.The church was originally a log structure and is long gone in favor of the methodist church in North Lewisburg.I have been trying to locate the original grave site records but I believe I need to go to Urbana to public records to get them and they are only open during the week (I work).The original land patents should be there also.
Anyway, my grandparents were Robert J. and Myrtle Ruth Pease Spain.He died in March 1987 and she died on 9/13/91, both in Delaware, Delaware Co, OH.Both are buried in Maple Grove near Paul, 1 of his brothers (the other is buried here in Columbus) and several of his brother's children who have passed, 2 during infancy and one recently.Broderick Cemetery is on the same main road as Maple Grove but just east of North Lewisburg.Maple Grove is just west of town.Several Spain's are in Broderick.The remainder are in Marysville, Union Co. at Union Cemetery.I believe all of Hezekiah's line are in Maple Grove or Broderick to my knowledge.There are also Millice's buried in Maple Grove.The following is Bob Sollars' e-mail: [email protected]'ll need to get permission to join the "family" website but there you will find a ton of pictures.I'll be back memorial day weekend to photo and take rubbings.
