Local legend says that the cemetery contains graves of the slaves owned by the Shumate family. The cemetery seems have 3 sections. One section is the oldest and contains only rock markers. The main section contains the graves of former slaves and those whose census records indicate that they are mulatto. There is a section of the cemetery that is on the north side of Cresthill Road that contains one grave marker for John Shumate who was white. He died in 1873 and may have been the owner of many of the slaves. Shumate Main Section: A.D. (Dodson) (AD.jpg) B.D.
