It cannot be determined which cemetery in this tract is the "Gunn Burial Plot" on the relocation list, so it is possible that both may have been moved to Butterwood or that one was moved to Gills Bridge Road Cemetery. There is no mention of a "Gunn" or "Palmer" cemetery in the burial relocation information collected from the metal markers at Gills Bridge (see Table 5). The exact location of this former cemetery has not been identified at the time of this survey."
