This cemetery actually consists of two sections. One on cleared land and the other was in the trees and bushes. These were all the same family and I can't understand how the separation occurred. The Short patriarch, Simon Short who is buried in the growth was most likely a freed slave. The Short family owned 83 acres of land. The cemetery sits on that property. The land was lost to the family in the 1980's, but burials still occur here. It is a little off the beaten path, but there have been a few recent burials.
