The cemetery is across the road from the old Sharp plantation house.
There is or was a rock wall around some or all of this cemetery.
There were several other separate plots in
this cemetery at one time, and several slaves supposedly buried somewhere
outside of the cemetery. There are many, many
unknown souls buried here.
