Today's Walk Through the Tombstones is at Sugar Grove Cemetery in Plainfield, Indiana. It is also known as Sugar Grove Friends Burial Grove. This cemetery is located within walking distance of Hummel Park in Plainfield and a nice, tranquil little location with a beautiful old cedar tree near the back.
GPS Coordinates: 39.6747741,-86.4020087
There are just under 1,300 graves here in this cemetery, many of which are very old and very worn. The oldest are near the back where there is a lovely, old cedar tree. The building itself is also very old. The sign out front dates it to 1823. I would assume that the cemetery probably is dated from about the same time, though I didn't find any graves from that time period.
From Waymarking.com "This Friends church was founded in 1823 by Quakers who moved to central Indiana from North Carolina. The meeting had both conservative and progressive members. The building present today was built in 1851. There was a mass migration of southern Quakers to the Midwest as they elected to move away from states that supported slavery. The church is now inactive, but services were held here for well over 100 years. The building and cemetery were added to the National Registry of Historic Places in September of 2000. The building is in remarkable condition and you may look in the windows for a nice view inside. As you peek inside you will notice the wood partitions that can be lowered to divide the meeting room in half. This allowed for separate services to be held for men and women, which was the custom at the time this church was built. There are a large number of pioneer graves in the cemetery, but unfortunately, 90% of them are unreadable".
There is also supposed to be a school house on the property, though I am not sure where. There is a white building next to the meeting house which appeared to be partially attached, though only by a porch. This may be the schoolhouse with the privy out back. It was rather hard to tell.

We now stop at the grave of John Atkinson.
Born: January 10, 1808, Chatham County, North Carolina
Died: September 1, 1896, Hendricks County, Indiana
There is a bit of conflict on information for John Atkinson. The Hendricks County WPA death index lists his death date as being September 1, 1896 and in Mooresville, Hendricks County, Indiana, while the Quaker Records for the Plainfield Monthly Meeting list September 3, 1896 as his death date. Even more confusing, the obituary file for Mooresville, Morgan County, Indiana (at the Mooresville Public Library) lists his death date as September 2, 1896.
He was the son of John Atkinson (1766-1830) and Mary Woody Atkinson (1772-1859). They are both buried in Cane Creek Monthly Meeting Cemetery in Snow Camp, Alamance County, North Carolina. They were married sometime in 1793.

We now stop at the grave of the Hocketts. We will start with Jane Hockett, shown on the right.
Born: 1815, North Carolina
Died: 1851, Indiana
I have no information on her family or any siblings.
She was married to Jesse Hockett, Jr.
Born: 1808, North Carolina
Died: 1876, Indiana
His name is shown on the left of the headstone that they share.
He was the son of Jesse Hockett (1763-1846) and Jane Millikan Hockett (1771-1849). They are both buried in Sugar Grove Cemetery, though there don't appear to be any headstones, or if there are, they are in such bad condition that they are no longer legible. From research that I have done, it would appear the Jesse Hockett, Sr, was one of the first settlers of Guilford Township, Hendricks County, Indiana. In 1821, he and a couple of others settled on White Lick, south of Plainfield
He had several siblings:
Ann Hockett Townsend (1789-1859) - buried in Sugar Grove Cemetery, Hendricks County, Indiana

Jesse Hockett, Jr. married a second time in 1852 to Catherine Hudson Hockett (1824-1881).

Here we have the grave of W.E. Carter.
Born: unknown
Died: 1874
I have no information on the family for this burial. There are over 30 other Carters buried in Sugar Grove, but I am not sure of their relations to this grave.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We stop at the grave of Simon Chandler.
Born 1895
Died: 1921
Unfortunately, I have no information about his family.
His headstone, however, has three interesting symbols, two at the top and a bronze placard at the bottom. We will start with the one on the top left.
This symbol is three linked chain with the letters F, L and T. These stand for Friendship, Love and Truth and is associated with the Independent Order of the Odd Fellows. Because of the wide use of this symbol, the became known as the Three Link Fraternity. There was an Odd Fellows Lodge, Lodge 211, in Mooresville. The Lodge was founded in 1859 and in 1869, a three story building was erected on the corner of Indiana and Main Streets in Mooresville. Over the years, the building served many purposes, but in the 1960s the lodge and the land was sold to Citizens Bank, which demolished it to use it for a parking lot for its bank building.
On the upper right side, there is another symbol - a shield with the letters I.O.R.M in a rectangle over top. This is the symbol for the Improved Order of the Red Men. The I.O.R.M. is a fraternal organization that was established in 1834. They modeled their rituals and costumes after the American Indians, though only white men could be members. I am not sure exactly where there may have been a Red Men Hall in the Plainfield or Mooresville area.
The final symbol on the headstone is at the base and is a bronze placard with crossed cannons and says "1st Class Pvt. Bat. A. 328 U.S. Field Artillery". From what I can find, the 328th U.S Field Artillery was a part of the 160th Field Artillery Brigade in the 85th Infantry Division under the command of Major General C.W. Kennedy in the "V Corps". These Corps were organized in July of 1918 in France as a Regular Army Formation with the American Expeditionary Forces. They fought in three major campaigns - The Battle of Saint Mihiel, the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, and the Lorraine Campaign.

This is the grave of Ezra H. Cox.
Born: 1828
Died: 1899
I am unsure of who his parents were or any siblings.
He was married to Lurethe Cox (?-1891). She is buried next to him in Sugar Grove Cemetery.
They had a couple of children, though one of the headstones is hard to read. It looks as if it says Paris Cox, though I am unsure.
Besides the one above, they had at least one other child, whose headstone is also next to theirs:
Amy Caroline Cox (1861-1885) - buried in Sugar Grove Cemetery, Hendricks County, Indiana
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here we have the headstone for Lurethe Cox.
Born: unknown

There is no information so far for her parents or any siblings.

Born: 1861
Died: May 27, 1885
She was the daughter of Ezra H. Cox (1828-1899) and Lurethe Cox (?-1891). They are both buried in Sugar Grove Cemetery.
She may have had at least one sibling by the name of Paris Cox, though the headstone is worn and difficult to read.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our next stop is at the grave of Kenneth Guy Green.
Born: September 26, 1901
Died: February 24, 1902
He was the infant son of Elwyn Clinton Green (1867-1932) and Nancy "Nannie" Elizabeth Guy Green (1875-1950). Both are buried nearby in Sugar Grove Cemetery.
There are at least three other unmarked graves that list children of Greens. I am unsure if any of these would have been siblings for young Kenneth.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Here we have the grave of Lora L. and Sibyl J. Dewees.
We will start with Lora L.
Born: unknown
Died: December 22, 1802

Born: unknown
Died: October 5, 1884
She was the wife of T.D. Dewees (?-?) and they had one child that I know of, Lora L. Dewees (?-1802).
At the time of this posting, this grave was not shown on Find-A-Grave. I have since corrected that, but without any information. Searches have brought no information as to who T.D. Dewees was or where he may have been buried.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the grave of John Dobbins.
Born: April 5, 1817
Died: August 8, 1894
I haven't found any information about his parents or siblings.

Louisa Dobbins (?-1852) - buried in Sugar Grove Cemetery, Hendricks County, Indiana
Indiana A. Dobbins (?-1855) - buried in Sugar Grove Cemetery, Hendricks County, Indiana
There are no headstones for any of the children, though their names are listed in the burial book for this cemetery.

This is the grave for Frank Fenton.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We now stop at the grave of Addison Hadley.
Born: February 26, 1825, Guilford County, North Carolina
Died: March 25, 1914, Hendricks County, Indiana

He was married to Jane E. Carter Hadley (1824-1898). She is buried next to him in Sugar Grove Cemetery.
They had one child that I have found:
Gulielma Hadley Stanton (1846-1914) - her burial location is listed as unknown.

There is an Elias Heathcock (?-?) listed as being buried in this cemetery, though he is not buried near them. I am not sure if this is a child or other family member.
I don't have any information on her family other than her husband.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here we have the grave of Isaac Jenkins.
Born: February 26, 1802
Died: May 7, 1888
There are many other Jenkins buried in Sugar Grove Cemetery, but I am not sure of any relation to any of them, other than the following.
Listing on the reverse of his headstone is that of Ruth Jenkins (1819-1889). I can only assume that this was his wife.
Unfortunately, this headstone is in very bad condition. The obelisk portion at the top is beginning to lean precariously and the base has started to sink into the ground on one side. I fear that a heavy wind or downpour of rain will topple this stone once and for all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the reverse of Isaac Jenkins headstone is that of Ruth Jenkins.
Born: July 23, 1819
Died: March 10, 1889
She was the wife of Isaac Jenkins (1802-1888) since she is listed on the reverse of his headstone and the time frame fits.
There are many other Jenkins buried in this cemetery, though I am not sure of which could be children as the cemetery book from the 1950s isn't very clear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here we have the grave of a Child Jones.
Born: March 27, 1865
Died: September 4, 1883
The name is shown on the top of the stone but is so very worn that it was hard to make out. It appears that this child was the daughter of S.L. Jones (?-?) and E.J. Jones (?-?), though that may not be correct as the stone is hard to read near the top.

He was the son of Hezekiah Morgan (1796-1836) and Lydia Hammer Morgan (1799-1855). He is buried in Friends Cemetery in Pendleton, Madison County, Indiana, while she is buried elsewhere, in Lost Creek Friends Burial Ground in Jefferson County, Tennessee. Assumably she is buried here becuase she remarried after Hezekiah passed on, though she may also be buried with her own family.
He had many siblings:
Obediah Morgan (1817-1892) - buried in Old Hopewell Cemetery, Vermillion County, Indiana
Henry Morgan (1818-1905) - buried in Clay Cemetery, Washington County, Iowa
Isaac W. Morgan (1822-1904) - buried in Bridgeport Cemetery, Marion County, Indiana
Hannah Morgan Mendenhall (1826-1871) - buried in Sugar Creek Cemetery, Poweshiek County, Iowa
Rebecca N. Morgan Grimes (1827-1899) - buried in Stilesville Cemetery, Hendricks County, Indiana
Hezekiah Morgan (1836-1874) - buried in Thomas Lincoln Cemetery, Coles County, Illinois.
Nathan was married to Araminta Morgan Wright (1840-1914). Her headstone is near his in Sugar Grove Cemetery. I am unsure as to whether or not they had any children. There are several Morgans buried here, but not much in the way of family connections.

Here we have the grave of Eli J. Newlin.
Born: December 9, 1875
Died: February 19, 1932

Born: 1878
Died: 1922

This is the grave of Mary Barnard Parsons.
Born: September 4, 1791, Deep River, Guilford County, North Carolina
Died: January 12, 1876, Plainfield, Hendricks County, Indiana
She was the daughter of Libni Barnard (1765-1828) and Amy Macy Barnard (1766-1819). They are buried in the Deep River Friends Church Cemetery in High Point, Guilford County, North Carolina. Though, interestingly enough, he states his wife's name as being Eunice in his will.
She had a couple of siblings that I found reference to:
John Barnhard (1793-1863) - buried in Little Blue River Friends Cemetery, Rush County, Indiana
Goram Barnhard (?-?) - burial unknown
Elihu Barnard (1802-1870) - buried in Stringer Cemetery, Jackson Parish, Louisiana
Reuben Barnard (1805-1870) - buried in Sugar Creek Township Cemetery, Hancock County, Indiana
It has been noted that the Barnhards and the Macys are some of the founders of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. Mary's father, Libni, was born there, as was her mother.

Here we have the grave of the Pettys.
First is Calvin W. Petty.
Born: 1867
Died: 1902
He was the son of Abraham Petty (1832-1916) and Mary Jane Parks Petty (1855-1942). They are both buried in poplar Springs Baptist Church Cemetery in Roaring River, Wilkes County, North Carolina. I find this rather confusing as that would make Mary Jane only 12 years old when Calvin was born. It is likely that Abraham re-married, but it is not outside the realm of possibility.
He had a couple of other sibilngs:
Sarah E. Petty Dean (1873-1939) - buried in Floral Park Cemetery, Marion County, Indiana
Mary Myra Petty Low (1877-1940) - buried in Mooresville Cemetery, Morgan County, Indiana
He was married to Leora B. Small Petty (1868-1936). Her name is just below his on the headstone. Unfortunately, I have no information about her family or whether or not they had any children.

There is a bit of conflict on information for John Atkinson. The Hendricks County WPA death index lists his death date as being September 1, 1896 and in Mooresville, Hendricks County, Indiana, while the Quaker Records for the Plainfield Monthly Meeting list September 3, 1896 as his death date. Even more confusing, the obituary file for Mooresville, Morgan County, Indiana (at the Mooresville Public Library) lists his death date as September 2, 1896.
He was the son of John Atkinson (1766-1830) and Mary Woody Atkinson (1772-1859). They are both buried in Cane Creek Monthly Meeting Cemetery in Snow Camp, Alamance County, North Carolina. They were married sometime in 1793.

She was married to Jesse Hockett, Jr.

His name is shown on the left of the headstone that they share.
He was the son of Jesse Hockett (1763-1846) and Jane Millikan Hockett (1771-1849). They are both buried in Sugar Grove Cemetery, though there don't appear to be any headstones, or if there are, they are in such bad condition that they are no longer legible. From research that I have done, it would appear the Jesse Hockett, Sr, was one of the first settlers of Guilford Township, Hendricks County, Indiana. In 1821, he and a couple of others settled on White Lick, south of Plainfield

Born 1895

Unfortunately, I have no information about his family.
His headstone, however, has three interesting symbols, two at the top and a bronze placard at the bottom. We will start with the one on the top left.
This symbol is three linked chain with the letters F, L and T. These stand for Friendship, Love and Truth and is associated with the Independent Order of the Odd Fellows. Because of the wide use of this symbol, the became known as the Three Link Fraternity. There was an Odd Fellows Lodge, Lodge 211, in Mooresville. The Lodge was founded in 1859 and in 1869, a three story building was erected on the corner of Indiana and Main Streets in Mooresville. Over the years, the building served many purposes, but in the 1960s the lodge and the land was sold to Citizens Bank, which demolished it to use it for a parking lot for its bank building. 
The final symbol on the headstone is at the base and is a bronze placard with crossed cannons and says "1st Class Pvt. Bat. A. 328 U.S. Field Artillery". From what I can find, the 328th U.S Field Artillery was a part of the 160th Field Artillery Brigade in the 85th Infantry Division under the command of Major General C.W. Kennedy in the "V Corps". These Corps were organized in July of 1918 in France as a Regular Army Formation with the American Expeditionary Forces. They fought in three major campaigns - The Battle of Saint Mihiel, the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, and the Lorraine Campaign.

Born: 1828

I am unsure of who his parents were or any siblings.
He was married to Lurethe Cox (?-1891). She is buried next to him in Sugar Grove Cemetery.
They had a couple of children, though one of the headstones is hard to read. It looks as if it says Paris Cox, though I am unsure.
Besides the one above, they had at least one other child, whose headstone is also next to theirs:
Amy Caroline Cox (1861-1885) - buried in Sugar Grove Cemetery, Hendricks County, Indiana

There is no information so far for her parents or any siblings.

Near them is a headstone, very worn and hard to read, but it appears to say Paris Cox, but I am not sure.

He was the infant son of Elwyn Clinton Green (1867-1932) and Nancy "Nannie" Elizabeth Guy Green (1875-1950). Both are buried nearby in Sugar Grove Cemetery.

We will start with Lora L.
Born: unknown
Died: December 22, 1802
She was the daughter of T.D. Dewees (?-?) and Sibyl J. Dewees (?-1884). I don't know if she had any siblings.

She was the wife of T.D. Dewees (?-?) and they had one child that I know of, Lora L. Dewees (?-1802).
At the time of this posting, this grave was not shown on Find-A-Grave. I have since corrected that, but without any information. Searches have brought no information as to who T.D. Dewees was or where he may have been buried.

Born: April 5, 1817
Died: August 8, 1894
I haven't found any information about his parents or siblings.
He was married to Rebecca Dobbins (1825-1866). She is buried next to him.

Louisa Dobbins (?-1852) - buried in Sugar Grove Cemetery, Hendricks County, Indiana
Indiana A. Dobbins (?-1855) - buried in Sugar Grove Cemetery, Hendricks County, Indiana
There are no headstones for any of the children, though their names are listed in the burial book for this cemetery.

I am not sure who his parents or siblings were.
He was married to Jane E. Carter Hadley (1824-1898). She is buried next to him in Sugar Grove Cemetery.
They had one child that I have found:
Gulielma Hadley Stanton (1846-1914) - her burial location is listed as unknown.

There is an Elias Heathcock (?-?) listed as being buried in this cemetery, though he is not buried near them. I am not sure if this is a child or other family member.
I don't have any information on her family other than her husband.

Born: February 26, 1802
Died: May 7, 1888
There are many other Jenkins buried in Sugar Grove Cemetery, but I am not sure of any relation to any of them, other than the following.
Listing on the reverse of his headstone is that of Ruth Jenkins (1819-1889). I can only assume that this was his wife.
Unfortunately, this headstone is in very bad condition. The obelisk portion at the top is beginning to lean precariously and the base has started to sink into the ground on one side. I fear that a heavy wind or downpour of rain will topple this stone once and for all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Born: July 23, 1819
Died: March 10, 1889
She was the wife of Isaac Jenkins (1802-1888) since she is listed on the reverse of his headstone and the time frame fits.
There are many other Jenkins buried in this cemetery, though I am not sure of which could be children as the cemetery book from the 1950s isn't very clear.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Born: March 27, 1865
Died: September 4, 1883
The name is shown on the top of the stone but is so very worn that it was hard to make out. It appears that this child was the daughter of S.L. Jones (?-?) and E.J. Jones (?-?), though that may not be correct as the stone is hard to read near the top.

Born: September 25, 1831
Died: May 9, 1903
He was the son of Hezekiah Morgan (1796-1836) and Lydia Hammer Morgan (1799-1855). He is buried in Friends Cemetery in Pendleton, Madison County, Indiana, while she is buried elsewhere, in Lost Creek Friends Burial Ground in Jefferson County, Tennessee. Assumably she is buried here becuase she remarried after Hezekiah passed on, though she may also be buried with her own family.

He was the son of Abraham Petty (1832-1916) and Mary Jane Parks Petty (1855-1942). They are both buried in poplar Springs Baptist Church Cemetery in Roaring River, Wilkes County, North Carolina. I find this rather confusing as that would make Mary Jane only 12 years old when Calvin was born. It is likely that Abraham re-married, but it is not outside the realm of possibility.
He had a couple of other sibilngs:
Sarah E. Petty Dean (1873-1939) - buried in Floral Park Cemetery, Marion County, Indiana
Mary Myra Petty Low (1877-1940) - buried in Mooresville Cemetery, Morgan County, Indiana
