Surveyed by ?? in January 2010. Plat of the cemetery.

NOTES: The other square marks on the plat are large stones with sunken areas in the probable casket area. These were probably the earliest burials and because of the location and size were family leaders.
The areas at the south end are crowded with small or no headstones and may well have been the slave area.
It is interesting to note the three straight rows of graves. All are as customarily buried east and west with the head facing the east or rising sun.
The gatepost at the north side is probably an original post from the early 1800s when the cemetery was established.
