Cox Chapel Cemetery

Submitted by Ralph Henderson. This is the complete list of everyone that was buried there with a marker in the last week of June, 2002. I was told after the fact that there were some graves to the back of the church where the slaves were buried, but there were no markers.

Unless otherwise noted, photos are courtesy of Clare and Scott Herrick.
