There are 8 Marked graves and 9 unmarked / Unlabeled (Graves) with only Field stones (Quaker Tradition) also 4 spaces with no Fieldstones nor Engrave Marker--one of the unlabeled graves is logically Thomas Ratcliff since it is his Cemetery on his Land he purchased from James Parson.
Another field stone / unlabeled Grave is logicaly Sarah Diggs Ratliff next to Thomas.
Thomas and Sarah's grandson James "Big Jim" Ratliff is buried in the South East Corner per Marion Thompson Ratliff
a Ratliff Historian This Leaves 6 Graves unnamed / unlabeled. plus 4 apparantly unused spaces.
Thomas and Sarah's Grandson William Ratliff and Mary Jane Hinson possibly are also buried here. Their son B T is buried here

Then east on 1825 to 1826 ( Down Town Old Cairo ) Left on 1826 traveling apprx 1.3 miles from Cairo SE just before the gravel road turns South toward Old Sneedboro a pre Civil War River Port. This area of 1826 is where the Pavement Ends. There is a Dirt Rd on the left with a gate. The Cemetery cannot be seen from 1826 and can be located by a short walk past the gate on Top of the Hill. Cemetery is surrounded by a metal fence. Without the present day Pines it would over look the Pee Dee River as would have Thomas Home.

Also believed to be buried here are William Francis Ratliff son of Elijah Ratliff and William's wife  Mary Jane Hinson daughter of Elijah Clay Hinson.  William and mary Jane are my Grt Grt Grandparents
