Terrell Ford Family Cemetery Inscriptions DeKalb County, GA

TERRELL - FORD FAMILY CEMETERY
DEKALB CO. GA


This cemetery is behind a house near the intersection of Cloverdale Dr 
and Oakfield Dr. These roads are off Flat Shoals Rd near the intersection 
of Flat Shoals and Bouldercrest. The cemetery is not visible from the 
road.  When Franklin Garrett first visited this cemetery in 1931 he noted 
it had fallen into disuse with only field stones to mark the graves. There 
was and is a stone wall around some of the graves. Only two graves are 
visible now. Garrett noted numerous graves marked with field stones head 
and foot and that several slaves of the Terrell and Ford families were 
buried there. 

The following are the names Mr Garrett was given as being some of the 
people buried there:

Carlisle, Mr & Mrs
Ford, Coleman
Ford, Coleman, Mrs
Terrell, William
Thurman, Coleman
	The last interments appear to have been around 1880.
