Reeves Family Cemetery
Bingham Township, Orange County, North Carolina, USA
Additional information: The location on the lot was given as: "The Reeves Cemetery is more or less behind the McCauley house at the northwestern corner of a rectangular meadow bounded by a pine woods on its northern side. At very nearly the northwestern corner of the meadow where the pines begin to give way to hardwoods, one can see several large tall (3') stumps within the woodland. These mark the cemetery."
In 1975, although this was an abandoned cemetery in the woods, the gravestones have been loosened and moved. There are a number of large stones just above row 1, and some of these may mark graves. There are only 2 pronounced depressions. The stone oval is obviously a child's grave. The earliest marked stone (1815), that of B. R[eeves ?], is interesting since it was obviously engraved either with a round object or with a compass-like instrument. Some photographs were taken and are on 35mm slides in the Engstrom collection in the photo archive in the UNC Library. There were two marked graves and six unmarked graves.
An unsuccessful attempt to relocate it was made in 2005. The GPS coordinates refer to the property on which it is located.
