    Notes for 'Eli Johnson:

    Sweat Cemetery sometimes called: Old Fairview Cemetery. Location: In pasture about 1/6 mile SW of Fairview Cemetery. In the early days of this community there was no public cemetery. When a death occurred in a family, burial was on their own land. Later the plot was also used by other people of the community as a burial ground, mainly from 1858 and one in 1906. There are 42 graves identified, 8 marked with a field stone and there are possibly several others.

    ***NOTE:=Worth County, Mo. was formed from Gentry County in 1845, so records will be dificult to obtain.

    Notes for 'Isreal Sr. Keen:

    Israel, Josiah and Mathias Sr took the Great Valley Road out of Berkeley County and traveled southwest into present day Greenbrier County West Virginia in the late 1780's. They settled in Wolf Creek, a small community that became part of Monroe County in 1799. Although Mathias was still listed in the Landowner records for Berkeley County into the 1790's, it has not been established whether another family member held that land until it's sale, or Mathias Sr. remained behind in Berkeley County and Mathias Jr. was actually the one who settled in Greenbrier County. Hopefully, further research will conclusively determine the events.
