Tombstone Tuesday :: Mount Locust, The Slave Cemetery

Copyright 2012, CABS for Reflections From the Fence

At Mount Locust, on the Natchez Trace Parkway, there are two cemeteries, one for the family and one for the slaves.

Signage tells us:

Only one unmarked stone remains. The names of persons known to be buried here are:

Cielious Washington

Marcus Perrymam

John White

Gabriel Tyler

Richmond Tyler

Jackson Tyler

Tommy Turner

William Turner

Abraham Allen

Esther Jackson

I looked hard, with all the leaves, it was a bit difficult finding that one stone, but, at last, middle of the photo to the left, one small white stone, barely visible.
