DESCRIPTION:

At the intersection of the roads from Sheppards to Chestnut Grove and Sheppards 
to Andersonville, stands an old house that was a tavern before the War.  Just a 
short distance back of this old house, is the Patterson family burying ground.  
It is clean and in better condition than most old graveyards in the country.  
The tombstones are unusual in size and shape, being about two and a half feet 
high, the inscription written in the round part.  The markers are of a kind of 
black rock.  There are a number of unmarked graves.  Only three are marked.
