      There are about 50 graves in this cemetery, including the grave of James Stagg. There are graves of both white and black in this cemetery. The cemetery is being removed to allow for development of the original farm land into a housing development for over 400 homes.

      The gravestones for William J. Duke, Sarah Duke and their infant were removed in July 1990 and installed in the cemetery at Duke's Chapel United Methodist Church. It is not known what happened to other gravestones in the cemetery.

      In August 2003, the removal of all the graves was begun. Only one gravestone was found which had fallen into the depression and become buried. This is the gravestone for Mary Caroline McNeill. The remains of William J. Duke and his wife Sarah were removed and reburied at Duke's Chapel United Methodist Church on Old Oxford Highway. All other remains were reburied at Markham Memorial Gardens.
