Comments: The cemetery is abandoned and in very poor condition. Livestock have been allowed to graze in it and the inscribed monuments are either broken or overturned. In an earlier survey 45 fieldstone markers were located.By tradition Major John Robinson, a Revolutionary War veteran, and his wife are buried here in unmarked graves. A monument for him was placed in the Crossroads Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery. His monument reads “ROBINSON, Major John 1750 1832 Lieut Continental Line Rev War”
