cemetery is a slave cemetery with mostly unmarked graves. Three of the slave graves are distinguished by handmade markers, but the identities of the individuals are not known. By the early 20th century, a community had grown up around the old plantation. The 1936 topographic maps label the area Wheeler. This map also shows a school to the west of Pond Spring, which was for children of color. It is included in the school census records from 1930 as "Wheeler." The school was in the location of Wheeler Chapel Church.
