The property appears to be the location of two cemeteries recorded in FaG: Spring Forest[1] and Green Branch [2]. The property was divided per the Will of Stapleton Crutchfield in 1818, it is unknown whether the two burial sites are in the same location or not, as the property is privately owned and inaccessible. Burials are recorded at Spring Forest between 1788 and 1844, Green Branch between 1850 - 1861.
