Note from "Rutledge Hill Then and Now": "It is uncertain how many slaves are buried there, but when Mr. Rutledge came here he had 65 slaves. We can safely assume that many people are buried here."
Directions from the intersection of Highways 55 and 41 in Manchester:
Take Hwy 41 South East 13.8 miles and turn right onto Rutledge Hill Road; go 2.1 miles and turn left onto Sherrill Road; go .7 mile and the cemetery is on right about .25 mile back in a clump of trees.
Graves had originally been marked with limestone rocks, which are no longer there.
Thanks to Larry and Callie Henley for locating this cemetery.
