Other burials are known to be here in this cemetery, but I am not aware of the particulars. Obviously that would be some of the Higginbotham & McCaleb family members and perhaps their slaves or freedmen. According to Dorothy Johnson this was the farm of Mr. & Mrs. C. Franklin Bendall (1970) and before that it was the old McCaleb Farm and of course before that with or without other now unknown interim owners the Higginbotham place.

Fieldstone marked graves or grave sinks: 3660
