Orangeville Township Section 4, T2N
R1W. Abandoned.
Nearly one mile north of Wesley Chapel lies this little
family graveyard. Joseph Wilson was probably
the first person to be buried there. There are a few graves
marked only by field stones, the identity of those so being
buried are unknown. Joseph Wilson and Mary
Britton were married in Bucks County, PA. in 1786.
After the Revolutionary War they moved to Virginia, then came
to Orange County, Indiana in 1817. In 1938 a government
marker was placed at the grave of Joseph Wilson by
descendants, and dedicated with appropriate ceremonies by
Lost River Chapter D.A.R.
