Thanks to Johnnie P. Pearson, direct 
descendant of Thomas and Sarah Ann Catching Head
for providing this information.

The Head Cemetery consists of over twenty graves located 
on 3500 square meters of a knolltop.  There are seven 
marked graves in this cemetery, three of which are located 
within a granite-walled enclosure, two within an iron-
fenced enclosure and two just outside of the iron fence.  
There are many additional unmarked grave depressions 
surroinding these two enclosures.  Several of these 
depressions have granite head and foot stones.  
The daughter of Thomas and Sarah Head, Sarah Ann Catching 
Head Pearson is buried at this cemetery also, but there is 
no marker to that effect.  It is beleived that the husband 
of Sarah Pearson, Daniel B. Pearson is buried at this 
cemetery also.  Sarah and Daniel's son Thomas Jefferson 
Pearson is also beleived to be buried in this cemetery 
also.  Memorial markers have been placed in the cemetery, 
for Daniel and Thomas Jefferson by Johnnie P. Pearson, 
Greatgrandson of Daniel and Sarah.
An infant daughter(name unknow) of James and Artemisia 
Wright, granddaughter of Thomas and Sarah is buried in 
this cememtery.  Her marker is broken into many pieces.  
She died June 12, 1851.
