• Woodside Cemetery (Oxford, Ohio)
  "Oxford's original cemetery was located at the southwest corner of Spring Street and College Avenue on land given to the village for this purpose by the trustees of Miami University. The first recorded burial at the site was of 11 year old William Keely, who died May 2, 1818. When, in October 1853, Oxford Village Council granted a right-of-way through the cemetery for the C.H. & I Junction Railroad, this was no longer appropriate as the town's only graveyard.

• Cleveland, Melinia
  Melinia's first married name is listed on the marriage document for her second marriage. However, it is nearly illegible. 'Pillis' is the best guess.
• Lewis, James
• Ross, Charles
  Charles Ross was likely born into enslavement. His first appearance in documentation is his marriage record, when he married Jane White in 1869. Given that their first child was born around 1865, they were likely married previously, but did not have it legally recognized until 1869.

  Carter Oaks (also known as Carter Utz) served in the 117th US Colored Infantry. The similar naming has lead to some confusion. Carter Oaks died in camp in 1865. This Carter Utz is a different individual.
