Unnamed, uncared for cemetery near
Whynot, Lauderdale County, MS
Surveyed by Dana Thomas Feb. 18, 2002

"The abandoned Whynot cemetery you transcribed, where Robinsons, Spinks, and Brewsters are buried is known as "The Old Brewster Cemetery". It may have another name, but it was identified as such by James Dawson in his book HISTORY OF WHYNOT, vol II. Supposedly, it is on property once owned by James Madison Brewster, one of my ancestors." -- Judy Gilmer
