Burlington township cemetery lookups

If anyone lives in the Burlington township area and goes out to read cemeteries...can someone look for the last name of Paul or Callaway/Calloway/Caloway? These two families passed through there in the 1850's, having come there from Indiana. The Callaway family migrated from Scotland to Delaware and Delaware to Maryland; then back to Delaware and then to the "New Country" of Virginia. Upon leaving Virginia it appears they went to Indiana with some of the offspring later venturing out into Iowa.

I'm curious to find the grave of a little girl named Sarah Paul... but I'd also be interested in any names found in those early cemeteries as many of them were no doubt connected to one another in various ways. Another name connected to this family and possibly buried near Burlington would be Sarah Webb Callaway Williams. Her grave hasn't been located yet either.

Any help is most appreciated.
