Location: This family cemetery is in Winston, two miles north
of Bankhead Highway on Mann Road. It is on the right side of the
road and has an iron gate flanked by brick columns. The cemetery
is rectangular in shape with five rows of graves and a total of
30-35 graves. There is a dirt roadbed that encircles it, and there
are additional fieldstone marked graves that lie in the woods beyond
that roadbed.

(This is the grave of a slave, a little girl named Tebia.)
Two other slave names are known: a woman named Looky who
was born circa 1789, and another young woman known as Matilda
who was born circa 1826. It is not known if they are buried
in the cemetery or perhaps in the graves outside the perimeter
road.
