I went by the old slave cemetery on Thursday, 20 JULY 2000.   It was in a grove 
of about a dozen old water oak trees in the side yard of 107 Etta Drive owned by 
Kevin Law in the Major Estates Subdivision. The area is about 30 X 50 feet and 
has three recognizable graves marked with field stones at the head and feet.  
There are many other field stones which probably marks other graves.  The 
graveyard was clear except for the trees and well kept although previous owners 
burned yard debris there.

The slaves were probably those of the CASON family since they owned the land 
around the Civil War era.
