Ms. Janice; As to the identification and the moving of a grave, I would advise you to contact a neaby funeral director.  He/She will either know of someone who will move it for you, or do the moving him.

  As to the identification, I can only suggest that you make a contact that is local to the cemetery, perhaps by canvassing the neighborhood for anyone who knows of the families buried there.  I also would contact the local genealogy spcoety and seek their help.

  If you have the family names, it might be that a search of the deed records at the time of and for a year after the death will reveal an "exception" for the little cemetery.

  I have done the above and found it easy to have a grave moved, yet more difficult, but not impossible, to learn the "where" of a particular gravesite or person.

  Genealogy without documentation is nothing.

    ....but title can not be traced to the town.
        My questions are: does anyone know of people who can identify burial plots that have no headstones, who to contact for the process of moving the identified graves to a maintained cemetery....
