Of the 78 records for this cemetery in FindAGrave at the time of this waymark posting there was surprisingly only 1 grave missing the death date. The oldest recorded grave was from 1866, just after the US Civil War. Unless the undated grave is before that, this cemetery is not antebellum. The latest grave was from 1940.

Note from the FindAGrave description of this cemetery it had been abandoned for some years, but was later -- some time before 2012 -- cleaned up. Compare with a couple of the 2006 photos of the cemetery. What a difference!
