Start your trip to this cemetery in Benndale, Mississippi. 
Here at the intersection of highway's 26 and 57, you will 
take 57 south. You will travel 9 miles, coming to an 
intersection on your left with the West Wilkerson Ferry 
Road. Take this exit and follow it for 1 mile. Here there 
is a rather large flag display on your left. We have the 
American and then the Christian Flags flying on separate 
poles, with a large wooden cross between them. Take the 
driveway just past this display, staying to the left of the 
two houses. This is private property and permission must be 
obtained before you visit the cemetery. Take the left 
driveway and proceed into the wooded area about 1/2 mile. 
Here you will find a nice clearing where this cemetery is 
located. The Wilkerson family maintains this cemetery. 
Connie Wilkerson and Jimmy Trussell walked this cemetery on 
the 20th of December, 2008, taking information form 
headstone inscriptions.

Additional Comments:
Rosanna was from Orange County, Virginia. Her maiden name was Taylor, and as 
fact would have it our President Zacary Taylor was also from Orange County, 
Virginia. No positive connection between the two has been made to date , but 
there are those amoung us that are looking, including myself.
