Description
on verso: This is the old slave church, built by
the slaves of the Barnes. This church was maintained and used as a
church until the middle 1960s. This church is located on the Old
Stantonsburg Wilson Road about 2 miles from Stauntonsburg, on the
Yates Farm. Across the road in front of the church to the west is
the old slave graveyard. It is on the Barnes Farm, down the path
leading to the creek right as you go down the hill. There are graves
on both sides. The best time of year to find them is early winter
and you will still have to look. This picture is by Guy Cox of
Raines and Cox of Wilson, Nov. 1981. This information by J. Norwood
Whitley Jr. December 1981.
