Cemetery Status: Inactive
The cemetery is near the Jackson Shoulderbone plantation house (circa 1850), which is across Centennial Road and slightly south of this cemetery. However there is no known record of former owners of the house being buried in this cemetery (they are buried elsewhere).
The cemetery has been fenced by the current owner of the Jackson Shoulderbone plantation, but there are no marked graves. The fenced area is circular and about 100' in diameter.
