Description

Directions: From Roxboro, take 501S to Timberlake. Turn right on Dick Holeman Road Coordinates: 36.26460, -78.96770 After the Civil War, this cemetery was the primary burial ground for the former Person County Cameron slaves and their descendants until the mid 1930s. Location: One half mile from the South Flat River between Dick Holeman Road (SR 1123) and Ned Moore Road (SR 1125). Directions: From Roxboro, take 501S to Timberlake. NOTES: Duncan Cameron never lived in Person Co but his landholdings here may have exceeded 8000 acres. 6500 acres lay along the bottomland of the south and north branches of the Flat River. To find out more about the Cameron family visit the web site for Historic Stagville: http://www.stagville.org/ At this point, no carved tombstones have been found. One unreadable metal funeral home marker was found. It is thought to be the last burial there, maybe around 1956. The research on death certificates has not been done yet. About 200 burials are marked by fieldstones. Some have deeper depressions than others. Another 200 have obvious depressions but no (as yet discovered) fieldstones. Finally, shallow depressions, spaces that appear level in line with obvious grave rows, and other areas that appear to contain burials could number from 200 to 1000. Research is being done by the Stagville Center using Dr Sydney Nathans' Cameron slave database.
