Other_Information:

ANN STEM/JENKINS 19 Jul 1808 d 6 Apr 1889 - daughter of Jacob Stem founder
of Stem NC buried with her husband and family and slaves in this plot.
Headstones have been bulldozed over to clear land for crops. Every year more
slaves graves are claimed by farming. I traveled 1000 miles to visit my
ancestrial graves and was unable to view the cemetery due to brush and
overgrowth around it. Also the road to grave yard only a 4 wheeler could
travel - so my cousin told me.
Eddie McDonald in Siler City NC would be helpful in this matter.
