It most likely is the burial site of African-Americans, who were members of a church and/or a fraternal organization. Early members may have been associated with the Flint Hill Baptist Church and left to start their own church after the Civil War.
The church owned a 175' x 250' tract; Knights of the Guiding Star of the East Lodge No. 29 owned 87.37' by 250', and U. S. Rubber Co. owned it by June 1942, as part of a 2266.32 acre tract north of the intersection of Texland and Westinghouse; west of Texland is a ravine below the railroad track.
