NOTES: Union Chapel Cemetery: there are 2 identical stones for the spouses of
Mellitiah JOHNSON-DILTZ and John DILTZ. Mel and John's 1st wife share 1, and
Jesse JOHNSON and John DILTZ share the other. There are missing tombstones on
one side of the JOHNSON-DILTZ monuments, possibly the daughters of Mel? A
young child "Jesse JOHNSON, son of J and M JOHNSON" is buried on the opposite
side of the Johnson-Diltz tombstones. An identical stone sits next to it with
the inscription "Frank JOHNSON, son of J and M JOHNSON" Dates not fully
legible, but believe these children belong to James and Mary Woodward Johnson,
who are buried on the other side of these tombstones. There seems to be some
discrepancy between daughters name between "Abigail" from 1 source and "Mary"
from another. It could've been the same person as often nicknames or middle
names were often used. But in 1830 census, Mellitiah Johns{t}on is listed as
head of household. There are 4 children listed; 2 boys under the age of 5, and
2, which accounts for Joseph and James, and 2 girls listed between the ages of
5 - 10, There are several spellings of "Mellitiah/etc." - "
WHITTREDGE/WHITRIDGE/ETC"
