Other_Information:
I recently visited NC and was told of this cemetery by a relative.
While out and about we visited the site, which includes several graves
of our anscestor (5 or more), and found the site in very poor
condition, and many graves in danger of being lost, consumed by the
woods.
At some point ther was a fence installed around a portion of the
cemetery, although the graves of our family are outside the fence along
with unknown numbers of others.
We would be very interestd in any information available on this site,
and if it is possible to stabilize it for future generations.
