Location: The "Byers' Burying Ground" is located near the Burnsville Road in East Finley Township. At the time of the Caldwell's Atlas of Washington County the grave yard was on the D. Tilton (Daniel Tilton) farm. Later the land was owned by George Tilton and in the 1950s the farm was run by George Litman. The graves in the 1950s were unfenced but clean. There were at that time about 12 stones, but at one time there seems to have been 2 or 3 dozen graves." Eagleson wrote, "A large number of dead have been buried in this ground and most of the graves have become obliterated."

According to A. S. Easleson, published in the Washington Reporter in 1908, James Byers was the son of Samuel Byers and Jane White, whose parents had immigrated to Washington County from Midlothian, Scotland, and who had 13 children. James was a "bachelor, who died alone in a log house on land once owned by Wililam Thomas, on September 7, 1835, aged 85 years." James made a will, and we know about his parents and siblings because of that will (see below). He lived alone, and was cared for by the family of his brother Thomas.
Thomas (1757-1825) married Margaret Shannon (1765-1829). Their oldest child, Mary Faris Yates (1821-1894) married Thomas Ralston (1812-1894), and their daughter, Jeanette Margaret Ralston (1852-1930), married Rev. Franklin Pierce Britt (1853-1907). Another daughter of Thomas Byers and Margaret Shannon, Anna Ralston (1797-1887), married Andrew Faris Yates (1795-1876), and one of their daughters, Anna Byers Yates (1831-1919), married Rev John Scott Gilmore.
They lived in East Finley Township, Washington County, PA. The "Byers' Burying Ground" is located on land that belonged to James Byers, near the Burnsville Road in East Finley Township. In James's will, he gave some of his land for a cemetery - "a piece of ground containing about three acres, surveyed by David Frazier, which I give and bequeath as a burying ground forever."
