I found my 4th Great Grandparents, Jeremiah Shaw Jr. and Rachel Horne, at the Old Union Cemetery. I didn't find anyone else there that I know I have any relationship to. I found the cemetery by going to the Lakeland City Hall. The cemetery is located South of Lakeland (North of Naylor) on Rt. 135. I travelled South of Lakeland on 135 and turned East on Burnt Church Road. (In that area, 135 is called Oak St. or S. Oak St.) I then drove about 1.3 miles East on Burnt Church Road and the cemetery was on the left (North side).
