Add PhotosSamuel C. Kerley wrote of this cemetery in 1904, but said that no one could remember who was buried there. The graves are marked by large upright stones except for Alexander Wakefield's grave, which is said to have been a large earthen mound. The people buried there are said by oral tradition to be Wakefields.
This little island was featured in the 1993 film THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS; it can be seen in several canoe scenes; a nighttime battle scene; and is also clearly seen in the scene where the fort is handed over to the the French. The cemetery is not visible in the movie.
