Persons Walker - 1788-1854
"I desire and direct that two hundred dollars and more if necessary be set apart and appropriated to the building of a stone wall embracing around the graves of my two children already buried and to enclose a part large enough for the graves of all the members of my family to be protected from the rain by a shingled roof"

This description shows evidence of a large Covered Grave, although no photo has been discovered.  Many members of this family are buried at Antioch Church Cemetery.

Location: 24th District, Lot 135. North from Butler on US 19 to Five Points. Turn left on Wesley Church Road. Cemetery is on the right, past the creek. There are no marked graves.
