The family did not use engraved headstones until the time of the Civil War. Between 9 to 12 Fieldstones were use to mark graves, but often the family just knew where someone was buried. Over the years, that information has been lost. Some of those reported to be buried in the cemetery are Abraham Michaux and his wife Susanne Rochet Michaux, their son Jacob Michaux and his wife Judith Woodson, their son Jacob Michaux whose wife was Sally Neville (she is believed to have remarried and is not buried there), their son Jacob Michaux and his wife Mary Ann Elizabeth Woodson. Other children of these couples may also be buried there, as well as the family slaves and local Indians. The Headstones are as follows: Jacob Michaux born 1803 died 1868 Marian Michaux Word born April 5, 1859 died September 7, 1885 Our Mother Fannie A.
