When the plantation owner (Sayor?) died, he willed his land to his Slaves. It is believed that this is the cemetery where the Slave landowners buried their dead. It also could have started off as the place where the plantation owner buried his Slaves. About 5-years ago, a Negro man visited this cemetery and said that he had relatives buried there.
