The following article written many years later (in 1905) indicates that a Littleton Salyers, of Lincoln Co., Ky served in the Rev. War and is buried in this cemetery.

Kentuckiana Digital Library, Interior journal (Stanford, Ky.) Friday, June 2, 1905, page 3, column 3, Enjoyable Occasion. The reunion and decoration near Old Double Springs Church and burying ground, in the Waynesburg vicinity, Tuesday was largely attended and greatly enjoyed. The members of the Baptist Church, the Masons, Maccabees, members of the Benevolent Society and Modern Woodmen all went in to make the day a memorable one and right well did they succeed. ……………… In Double Springs Cemetery are soldiers of five wars and Rev. R. R. Noel had the sad privilege of placing flowers on the graves of each of them. Littleton Salyers, who fought in the Revolutionary war, is buried there, as is George W. Williams, of 1812 fame. The Mexican Soldier, who sleeps the sleep that knows no waking, is Wm. Stringer. Several Civil War veterans lie there and the grave of B. Reynolds, of the Spanish-American War, bears silent but substantial proof of the unpleasantness of only a few years ago. It is indeed remarkable that representatives of the last five wars should find their last resting place in this rather obscure little city of the dead. Old Double Springs Church, built in 1804, still stands, but is no longer used as a house of worship.…… (article continues, but names no more names, a very long article).
