About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

According to tradition, the Babb Slave Cemetery is located near the enclosed Babb Cemetery on the knoll of the Lawrence Rotruck farm, Cherry Ridge Road, Maysville, WV. Standing at the gate of the small Babb Cemetery, looking to the left, indentations in the ground can be seen. These seem to be indicating where the slaves were buried. According to the 1850 U.S. Federal Census - Slave Schedules, Peter Babb had 5 slaves. Their names are not listed. Only their ages and sex are given: female 30, female 7, male 6, male 4, female 2. It is not known how many slaves are buried there nor their ages.
