There are also several large stones (not actual markers) along one edge of the cemetery that mark the burial sites of slaves but no names or dates for these individual have been found to the best of my knowledge.  

Sharon said: " There are a few markers here that cannot be identifed due to weather or other damage and with the exception of the graves of Robert, Sisselia and Garrison the exact location of graves cannot be determined as headstones have been moved. 
According to the information given to me by Gene Gallagher the cemetery property does belong to Powell family heirs and is a private cemetery.  It is located on a corner of the property once owned by Robert Powell at Powell's Ford. 
Gene maintained the cemetery as best he was able for quite some time and had some clearing down before my visit in May 2000 but I'm not sure what state the cemetery may be in at this time.  If enough family members could establish a trust to begin the process it is my understanding the county would take over maintaince of the cemetery."
