Historical
Marker Text: Bolton Cemetery
Ebenezer
(Ebb) and Martha Bolton settled in this area in the
1850s. They established an extensive plantation and owned
a number of slaves before the Civil War. Following Ebb
Bolton's death in 1877, his widow made arrangements to
provide land to their former slaves. This cemetery, which
began in 1861 upon the death of Martha Bolton's mother,
Rebecca Durley, became a part of the Bolton community, a
Freedmen's town which built up in the area. Both Ebb and
Martha Bolton are interred here, as are many of the
former slaves and their descendants.
