There is no sign telling visitors the name of this cemetery. It is located just off Highway 16. There is a short winding lane leading you to the grave sites.

It does not look like many people have been here recently. Many of the stones are overgrown and there is evidence of stones down and markers knocked over. There is a large shade tree laying across a section of the stones in the rear of the cemetery.
The markers themselves seem to be from the early 1840's and the latest might have been in the 1940's. These are estimates as it was difficult to read many of the standing stones due to the overgrowth and erosion.
This is a peaceful, serene resting place especially due to the fact that it is located under century old trees shrouded with Spanish Moss.
All it needs is some tender loving care.
