McCoy Slave Cemetery [1]
Some people buried here are descendants of Lizzie McCoy, who helped raise Albert McCoy's children. Other families that lived in the area after the Civil War are also buried here. This cemetery is in a wooded area and is on private property. It cannot be seen from the road and is not easy to locate. The cemetery is located to the left of the dirt driveway off McCoy Rd.
