Daughter of Francis Nash Waddell and <br /> Haynes Elizabeth Davis Moore Waddell <br /> Waddell, Owen [1833-1864] Son of Francis Nash Waddell and Elizabeth Davis <br /> Moore Waddell <br /> *The 11 burials with 10 legible headstones(John Francis Cameron and Rebecca Waddell Cameron share a headstone). <br /> Several original headstones and footstones remain in the Cameron-Moore-Waddell Cemetery. <br /> However, in the 1960s, Annie Sutton Camerona descendant of Alfred Moore—replaced some <br /> of the original headstones with inscribed granite markers set into the earth. There are eight granite <br /> headstones with legible inscriptions, six of which have corresponding granite footstones. Two of <br /> these headstones represent original burials made in 1950 and 1967; the remaining six are <br /> replacements. These later headstones fall within the second period of significance and do not <br /> impair the overall integrity of the site. In the southwestern corner of the cemetery are three older <br /> slab markers, two of which are likely marble and bear legible inscriptions. The third has been <br /> carved from local fieldstone (possibly slate); it likely once bore an inscription, but has become <br /> severely delaminated over time. In addition to these 17 markers, there are approximately five <br /> burials marked by combination headstones/footstones(10 stones),one marked by just a headstone, <br /> and three solitary markers dispersed throughout the graveyard, all of which are uncut fieldstone <br /> (either slate or quartz). These various gravestones should be considered contributing components <br /> of the site. They retain their integrity in location, design, setting, material, workmanship, <br /> association, and feeling. <br /> Set flush into the earth are rough-cut quartz stones that outline paths around the burial ground. The <br /> pattern,which is truncated by a later rubble stone wall,makes a Y pattern in which the tail extends <br /> approximately 65 feet east of the present wall. Archaeologists mapped this path in August 2023 <br /> and noted that the flush quartz edging stones are aligned parallel, approximately 8 feet apart.19 As <br /> there is at least one known burial (presumably early, as it is marked by an uncut fieldstone <br /> headstone and footstone) outside of the Y pattern but within the current rubble walls, the path was <br /> likely not original to the cemetery's inception. The quartz-lined path may date to the 19th century. <br /> The quartz-stone edging should be considered a contributing component of the site as it has <br /> retained its integrity in terms of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and <br /> association. <br /> Section 7 page 15 <br />
