Jeannine Smith & I surveyed this cemetery on November 23, 2007.
"There were so many unmarked graves, seemingly going far back in time, in this burial area, it made our hearts grieve. If you can add to the names/dates that we have here, telling us who your loved ones and friends are who are buried there, please email us at
oktibbehalowndes @ yahoo.com ."
