Cemetery in the Woods

look, another angle
This little cemetery is across the street and down about a block from the Nesbit Family Cemetery. It looks really small from the road, but when you get in there and start exploring you realize it's much bigger. There are some stones that are literally just "stones" almost hidden in the woods. This may have been the slave cemetery for the Nesbit household. One of the inscriptions leads me to believe this. As always, if you have any information about this cemetery, please email me.
