Photograph hf00009.jpg on the "Unidentified" page may show the location of eight graves. The area is the only part of the cemetery with flowers, and lies to the left of Ann Bayly's grave. Ann's tombstone indicates that to her left are the graves of her father, sister, and six of her children. The inscriptions of Ann, Edmund and two Thomas Baylys are given in Whitelaw beginning with page 980.* - Information from Sandy Perkins

A WPA (Works Projects Administration) report from 1938 lists the cemetery and its graves together with the inscriptions, which do not appear to be accurate. The report is available online at the Library of Virginia (search the catalog for "bayly burying ground"). The record also includes a map (image).
