The following is a list of names of people supposed to have been buried in the Old Plantation Cemetery which we did not see headstones for when we visited. We may have missed it, it may have been destroyed or they may never have had one, as my research sources often use cemetery records as opposed to headstone transcriptions. I suggest that if you desire further information on any of the following, that you contact the Houston County Historical Commission. ALSTON, Robert ALSTON, Bernice FOSTER, J.F. HUTCHINGS, Elizabeth HUTCHINGS, Emma HUTCHINGS, Robert HUTCHINGS, Millie HUTCHINGS, M.H. JACKSON, A.J. MEDLOCK PERKINS, W.P. WRIGHT (several) |
