The W.P.A. listing says, "From the court house in Milton go south on Robinson Point dirt road for 6 mi to cemetery which lies 16 ft to the right (west) of the road." The W.P.A. listing states Jesse LEWIS, Pvt Co A 5th Fla Inf, C.S.A. 1804 - 1898 is buried there. The exact number of graves sites is unclear. Estimates range from ten (10) to twenty (20) grave sites on the property. Due to deliberate and illegal destruction of many headstones, only two cement vaults are still visible.
