Stanfield, Sampson(only death date) 11 Jul 1837 no other writings.
Headstone with left top corner broken off as per drawing at right - believed to be CURNUT. The 1st in Nov. 1857 seemed to be an afterthought, being added in after the original markings. |

Headstone started but not completed with the wording and shape of stone at right. The etchings are clear and not eroded with age as so many stones are. The D is made backward. |
This cemetery is located on the old Sampson Stanfield farm. A family named Huddleston lived there in 1976. The cemetery site is now being used as a barnyard. Only one stone remains upright and in place, that of Elizabeth Campbell. The stones remaining, including that of Sampson, are piled up under a tree with other rocks that look like a base for a fireplace in an old homeplace. We took three pictures, one of the headstone of Sampson Stanfield and two of the general area. We searched the area up to 1/4 mile radius for other stones, none found.
