Smith Slave Cemetery, 72-1 Summary Report, page 9

---

Smith Slave Cemetery' (72-1), Redstone Arsenal, Madison County, Alabama, July 2002. (Same fieldstone as above, flipped up to reveal other side) With no inscribed tombstones to provide names of those buried here, land records provide the only avenue of further investigation, beyond the oral history reports (if any, for this cemetery) that may have been collected by Beverly Curry. The original land record summary for this area is shown below, as published by Margaret Matthews Cowart in her book OLD LAND RECORDS OF MADISON COUNTY, ALABAMA. Of course, the lines of interest deal with the location of this cemetery, in the northwest corner of the Southeast Quarter of Section 15, Township 15, Range 1 West. 9 - (2604)
