Pickaway County is primarily a rural county. 

It was perhaps even more so when these maps were drawn up during the decade of the 1930s; during the years of the Great Depression when the W.P.A. program was in place.

On the Cemetery Index Page, there are 57 cemeteries listed with the word "Farm" in their names.

Circleville is the county seat of Pickaway County.

Pickaway County contains several American Revolutionary War veteran burials.:

Above is a photograph posted here with permission from the photographer of the large gray granite memorial monument for Revolutionary War veterans who were buried in Pickaway County but whose exact location is unknown.  

This monument is at Forest Cemetery in Circleville.  

Capt. Eleazer Williamson is included on the list.  

On Find a Grave he is shown as buried at the Presbyterian Cemetery which is Page number 62 on the Cemetery Index.

There are some map pages where veterans names are listed and their gravesite location shown; however, their war number -- example: the number "1" designation for the American Revolutionary War, is missing.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Note: that the Yankeetown Cemetery is listed on Find a Grave as being in Fayette County. 

However, in the Pickaway County collection of W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps, Yankeetown Cemetery is shown as being in Monroe Township, Pickaway County which is next to the border with Fayette County.:

Note also that the Methodist Cemetery on the Cemetery Index as number Page 82 is named as the Beckett Cemetery on Find a Grave.

Pickaway County's W.P.A. Cemetery Plat Maps are a fascinating collection containing several pages of smaller family cemeteries that in some instances have now disappeared.  Because of the W.P.A. workers' documentation of their location and veteran burial information, the existence of these early burial grounds is proven and their records have been preserved for our further research.
