I would like to thank my good friend Bob for for forwarding me the below with
permission to share with others. Most all are dated after 1900, but possibly
a descendent of slave ancestors.

Found this African-American graveyard on the west side of Turkey Creek
bridge 150 yards south of Hwy 97 in Nash Co., NC. There were numerous
unmarked graves and graves marked with rocks. I have no further information
on none of these people, just ran across it in the woods and thought I would
post it as I feel it probably had not been surveyed and posted before. Hope
it helps someone.
