Re: Posey county cemetery tombstones
These are familiar names:
A.H.
Aaron
Abrahm
Adam
Charles
Jonathan
Malinda
Roley
Mary
Poley (Polley?)
Margaret
Burlison is frequently spelled Burleson, but my line who came to Posey county used Burlison (most of the time). It is not unknown to see Burlinson and some other spellings, but with all the familiar given names you provided, I suspect the transcriber or typist just made an honest error. An example of our line is Jonathon Hampton Burlison who was a JP and later mayor of Mt. Vernon in the 1870's.
The names I don't recognize may truly be Burlinsons, or they may be descended Burlisons for whom I have no records.
Many thanks for your help, if you have further info on the above list it will be much appreciated.
