This cemetery is home to a famous Revolutionary War soldier, Joseph Sutton. The DAR placed a new stone (plaque) in 2012 to honor this man.

Since that ceremony, a real estate developer has acquired the land and is planning to subdivide it for homes. The fate of the cemetery is unknown. But the entire area is fences and posted.
I got the best shots I could without trespassing

I found this article on Revolutionary War Soldiers ceremony, and even more interesting site on the History of Bryants Creek Baptist Church
