(am not sure if they have tombstones or not.  Some of the death places have been

gleaned from death records, some from an aunt who walked with me over the grounds and told me who was buried there) ~ Diane Cooley Heap tnheritage@yahoo.com

I have done my best to record the names and dates of the individuals that are buried in this cemetery as they appeared on their markers but mistakes can be made. I have also left out the dates of the individuals that appear to be still living, out of respect for these people and families. Some of the markers are broken, writing barely legible, and some with names only. If you have a date or a name of a person that can be added to these graves or cemetery, please e-mail me at: BerryglenPlace@aol.com

Roberson Monument ~ located at the top of the hill, over-looking the cemetery, next to the Hopewell Church.
