The survey states that the cemetery holds the graves of:
John Jack McClelland,
Eliza Elizabeth Alexander McClelland,
"and their son," Thomas McClelland.
The survey does not give any dates, or any source for the suggested relationships between the three McClellands.
Ancestry.com trees (without sources) say that John was born in 1818 in Tattnall County, Georgia to John McClelland (no dates,) or in 1810 in Ireland to Thomas McClelland (no dates.) Those trees say (again, without sources) that John died in 1880 in Georgia, or in Calhoun, Florida.
Contributor #47037628 has suggested that John was born in 1808 in Tatnall County, Georgia, and that he died in 1880 in Colquitt County, Georgia. No sources were provided, and I could find none.
The 1860 U.S. Census shows a household comprising Georgia natives John McClendon (born circa 1810) and Eliza McClendon (born circa 1815,) living with seven younger McClendons (ages seven to 20) in Worth County, Georgia.
The 1870 U.S. Census shows what might be the same household, living in Colquitt County: John Mclendon (born circa 1808) and Eliza Mclendon (born circa 1811,) living with four younger Mclendons (ages 18 to 24.) Only two names of the younger household members match; those are very common names (John and Lucy,) and the ages don't quite match.
Finally, the 1880 U.S. Census shows the widow Eliza McClendon (born circa 1814) living in Florida, Quitman, Georgia with her son John McClendon and her widowed daughter Marietta Thomas. The previously mentioned enumerations do show a son named "John" of about the same age, but neither of them shows a daughter named "Marietta" or anything similar.
