DESCRIPTION:

This old graveyard is located to the north of the house on a hill with large 
trees growing all over it, even some on the graves.  There are about 30 graves 
without any inscriptions.  The markers are common native rocks.  If there ever 
was a fence around this place, there is no sign at present.

The slave graveyard is to the northeast and today is being cultivated over, it 
is said.  This was quite large, possibly 40 graves.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

William Berry and his ancestors are buried here.
