Singleton Family Cemetery Inscriptions Monroe County, GA

August 2, 1999
SINGLETON FAMILY CEMETERY, MONROE COUNTY, GEORGIA

The cemetery may be reached by taking Zebulon Road off Forsyth Road just 
north of Wesleyan College in Bibb County and following it into Monroe 
County for 9 miles to the point where Zebulon Road forks to the left with 
Moore Road.  Take Moore Road for approximately  2 1/2 miles.  The cemetery 
is seen on the west side of the road and is quite visible from the road.  
There is a house slightly northwestward from the cemetery occupied by the 
family of Buford Mallory.  There are 6 cedar, 2 white orak and 1 pine 
trees standing in the immediate area of the cemetery.

The cemetery is surrounded by a wrought iron fence, which for the most part 
is now  separated into sections, some standing and some lying on the 
ground.  The north end section is still in place and so is the gate which 
is on the northeast corner.  All the sections of fence still seem to be in 
existance at the site.  The burial area surrounded by this fence is 
approximately 8 feet wide by 18 feet in length.

There is seen inside the fence one very large brick grave and one monument.  
The ends of the old brick grave stand aapproximately 4 feet square by 15 
inches thick.  There is a low brick wall connecting these ends on each side 
of the grave.  No inscriptions are found in the brickwork, although the ends 
show an indenture where a plate type marker of metal, marble, or granite 
might have existed in the past.  Standing approximately 4 feet tall on the 
north side of this sbrick grave is a white or light grey granite monument 
bearing inscriptions.  The base of this monument is about 32 inces long, 18 
inches wide and 10 inches high.  There is a tablet standing on top of this 
base, being about 28 inches tall by 2 feet wide and 8 inches thick.  The 
tablet is inscribed as follows:

HENRY SINGLETON
1798-1869
AND
UNITY FOREMAN
HIS WIFE
AND THEIR CHILDREN
JOHN W. SINGLETON (W= Wesley)
MARTHA A. SINGLETON (A = Anne)
JOSEPH SINGLETON

No other markers or indication of graves are seen either inside the 
fence nor outside it.
