Summers Family Cemetery

Mike Worsham has transcribed this family cemetery. If anyone knows of any futher information about this family, please let me know.  They are not in the index for the Calhoun County 1860 Census but the graves are so close to the Yalobusha County line that they may be in their census or it's possible that the census taker missed them. In the 1861 Calhoun County Land Records {transcribed by Imogene Springer} for Township 12 Range 3 West Section 10 there is a reference to John D. Sumners for the SW 1/4 for 160 acres.About 75 to 100 feet north of the "family" plot are two graves that are refered to as "slave graves."Both plots have been recently mowed and are very attractive. We were able to drive within about 300 feet of the family plot.
