026 BETTS, DAVID ALSEY [African-American]
Location - in the woods west of Holly Springs, NC.
Surveyed by David Reitmeyer in November 2002.
David's notes: I have stumbled across a small family cemetery while exploring in the woods west of Holly Springs, NC (near Raleigh). It has only one gravestone with script, but looks like about 12 plots. Very obscure, but I have a digital photo of the one stone.
