• <Mud Creek Baptist Church cemeteries> Cemetery #1B is a cemetery begun more or less contemporaneously with #1 for slaves on the William Wood plantation and later used by the local black community, many of whom belonged to Mud Creek Church in the Antebellum and Reconstruction periods. Though the Church has no formal affiliation with the cemetery, MCBC has undertaken to provide limited maintenance on the cemetery due to its apparent abandonment.
