Ownership: This cemetery has been deeded to the Person County Historical Society. The tract is identifed in book 179 pages 261, 262, 263, 264. The plat was recorded in Register of Deeds on Aug 7, 1984
The tract is identifed in GIS (tax records) as record number 16686; is shown on tax map A57 79; and is indentified by PIN 0919-00-18-4138.000. The plat was recorded in Register of Deeds in 1980 as 19-321. (This is in conflict with the date above - verify.)
This cemetery was combined with the cemetery donated by the Woody family into a single 1.77 acre tract but is listed separately here because the burials are distinctly separate. All the burials at Robertson are within a block wall. Woody burials are 200 feet from the wall. The Woody Cemetery is the former site of the old Woodsdale Methodist Episcopal Church
