I was looking for Nathan A. Ramsey. His daughter and son are buried there in unmarked graves. Nathan is suppose to have a stone. It was so over grown at the time that I could not get far. Plus my daughter was a toddler at the time and we were worried about snakes. Mr. Wegmet was with me at the time. I told him that I would get in touch with a scout troop to come in and help clean up. I don't know if someone ever did. Nathan Asbury Ramsey is my Great Great Great Grandfather's son- John Sanford Ramsey. John Sanford Ramsey is buried in Freeman-Dabbs Cemetery.
