Jammie,
I saw your name in a list of those researching cemetary headstones in Cass Co, TX. You were listed for Douglasville. In 1979 I visited the Rutland Cemetary a few miles SE of Douglasville, and photographed most (all?) of the headstones, and mapped and recorded the inscriptions on all of the headstones. I would like to share this info if you can tell me how. I would also like to find the cemetary or (Methodist "ME Church South") records of the burials, so as to have a more complete listing of those buried there. I am especially looking for Dr. Josiah Phillips (1822-?) and his wife Martha Ann Chappell Phillips (1826-?) who moved to Douglasville area from Alabama in about 1852.
Can you help me? Harold Wayne Phillips mtwayne@gmail.com
Jammie,
Thanks for the reply. Today I found the records for the Rutland (Chappell) Cemetary in Cass County Cemetary List (source: Find A Grave) I scrolled to Rutland Cemetary where I checked off most of the record of gravestones that I had recorded and photographed there in 1979, but some that I recorded/photographed) were missing from the listing from this site.
Its interesting because the missing stones are all in the NE corner of the cemetary as I had mapped them. I've emailed the contact person for the site. Any other ideas to update the record for this cemetary? I have good photographs of the missing stones.

Hello.....I don't know about Adam Burchfield as I haven't gone into that family very much. I do know the Burchfields in Tuscaloosa Alabama married into my family of Becks several times.
