Hi everyone, I went to Tippah County over the weekend and I go quite often but this time I got a little cemetery crazy and I took some pictures of some old tombstones in a little cemetery that my ancestors must have donated over a hundred years ago to the people of color in the community. Anyway, I added a few to the online lists. If anyone else is interested in logging the African American graves in Tippah I'm taking volunteers. None of the graves are listed with what's online now so it would be a totally new project. On the way home, after I entered Benton County I turned down the Saulsbury road that leads to Hopewell Church. Hopewell is a community right on the line of Benton and Tippah Counties. After stopping at the Hopewell Cemetery I decided that I would just continue North to Saulsbury cause I had heard that I had relatives buried in a cemetery called Sand Flat somewhere in that area. I didn't find Sand Flat cemetery, however I did find an Antioch Cemetery. This was a very strange cemetery because all the new graves were up at the front near the road. There was a large space of empty land and then there were all these really old graves from the decade before the Civil War. I checked online in Benton County and I didn't find any of the graves listed. Does anyone know anything about this cemetery? It's about a mile south of Old Stateline Road. There isn't a church near it anymore and I don't know if there ever was. Any help would be appreciated. There is an Antioch Cemetery in Tippah but it's not near this one, the older gravestones were very ornate and most were broken or sinking into the ground. The newer graves were from the Black family. If you know anything about this cemetery please contact me. Thanks, Melissa McCoy-Bell
