WILLIAMS - SCOTT CEMETERY, 37 - 1 Summary Report This is another arsenal cemetery with no individual tombstones. The first impression upon a visit is that it must be another slave cemetery. However, a check of historical data indicates otherwise. While older reports do relate burials of non-slaves, that does of itself does not exclude slave burials as well in the cemetery. The problem is the consistent assumption that lack of tombstones indicates a slave cemetery, as opposed to the disappearance of previously known and documented tombstones from various cemeteries. Such is the case here. 1 - (1794)
