There was some confusion about two cemeteries in McLean County with very similar names: Scrogin Hill and Scogin Hill.
A Colonel John Flesher is buried at Scrogin Hill Cemetery as is an Edward Jones. Both are War of 1812 veterans.
Buried at Scogin Hill cemetery in Bloomington are John O. Nelson and David Withrow (1796-1868) which may also be spelled Witherow. These two are also War of 1812 veterans.
Scogin Hill Cemetery is located in two townships: Bloomington and Dale.
