   "There
was a slave cemetery moved from the Coffee Plantation when the lake was
built . . . It was moved to a small area south of Highway 406 on
Goverment
Property . . . I
have found this Cemetery . . . It has
plain stones as markers and has approximately 24 - 26 graves . . . I
live in the Preston
area." ~ ~ ~
