3 cemeteries in the same location, side by side-Hitchcock Cemetery, Hitchcock Family Cemetery, and Waggoners Grove Baptist Church Cemetery (church is 1 mile west on same road).

The Hitchcock Family Cemetery is the white Hitchcock family of Ranford Ellis and Martha Sims Hitchcock. The "Hitchcock Cemetery" was originally the black slaves of the Hitchcock Family in pre-Civil War times. In addition, the Waggoners Grove Church Cemetery is located in same place. All 3 cemeteries originally had a separate entrance and still do, although there is now a primary entrance accessing ALL 3. However, time and burials over years have ran all 3 together and so it appears to outsiders to be 1 cemetery...it's NOT. Waggoners Grove was originally a black denominational church, BUT in recent years has become BOTH black and white. Burials do occur regularly in present times. Surrounded by timberland owned by commercial timber company, accessed from Waggoner's Grove Church Road by one of 3 roads."
