Some of the unmarked ones are simply sunken places in the ground the size of graves while others have plain concrete slabs as markers with no information on them. According to one researcher, this cemetery is located on land that was once part of a large land holding owned by one Daniel B. Sample. Most, if not all, the graves in this particular cemetery are believed to be of African American descent.
