About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

There are 3 generations of McKissick buried here (including three Daniel McKissicks). The McKissick family occupied the home and farm at this address from 1832/33 to 1947 when the last McKissick on this farm passed away, with no direct heirs. The first generation McKissick (Daniel 1787-1854) married Mary Polly Kent, born 1788-1867 from North Carolina, married May 15, 1808. They are buried here, along with several of their descendants. This is private property, no trespassing.

(Daniel's brother John married Mary's sister, Martha Kent, in North Carolina - the families had been neighbors. John and Martha's family moved to Clay County MO and also had children and grandchildren - several with the same names of people buried in this cemetery. That family eventually founded McKissick Island in NE and the town of Hamburg IA. They never lived at Gower - are not to be confused with the McKissick's that lived outside Gower - and are not buried here.)
