Survey - Milton Forsyth visited the site on 17 Feb 2005 and provided photographs.

Graves - There are 3 major gravestones identifying 5 burials in this cemetery, along with 3 footstones and 3 fieldstones.

Comments - The burials for this cemetery in the 1970s survey were included in the listing for Mt. Moriah Baptist Church Cemetery (#046) based on an incorrect 1937 survey listing. Because the 1970s survey team was apparently not aware of the Carden Family Cemetery they did not note the error. The location of several Carden burials on the 1937 list remains unclear, and they are so indicated. It has been suggested other family members, including a Silas Carden, are buried here.
