Name: Edwards Family Cemetery Directions: Old US Hwy 52, 2-3 miles south of Pinnacle, on right side of road and just before Dalton Loop Road on left County: Stokes Notes: No research was done to identify the name of this cemetery, and this name for Edwards is only as a means of identification for NCGenWeb files. This cemetery has seven graves inside of a chain-linked fence and it looked like someone has been taking care of the graves since it was clean and without overgrowth. However, outside of the fenced-in area there are at least many other graves not being maintained and they are being overgrown by brush and vines. Nine of these graves were identified and listed below, but there are many more with only river-slate markers or other field stones. It is unknown how many graves are there but without any evidence of a marker.
