DESCRIPTION:

This graveyard is only about 100 yards from “Banister Hall” and has no fence or 
wall around it.  There are several very pretty tall cedars on this ground.  
There are only a few markers of the Carter family there, but no doubt many of 
the older generation are buried there but no slabs to indicate this.  Below are 
the following inscriptions taken from these markers.
