In the Andrew Chapel Churchyard Cemetery, there is a tombstone to the memory of Basil Hallum who was born Sept 26, 1775 and died Aug 4, 1816. Also, there are markers to two small children of Basil Hallum and his wife Susannah Hallum. In as much as Mary Ann Hallum Smith, 2nd wife of John "Skinner" Smith, named her youngest son, Basil, the presumption is that she was a descendant possibly a daughter of Basil Hallum buried at Andrew Chapel.
