Many thanks to Daisey for finding my grandparents the Rakes family cemetery. This is the correct cemetery. Also where some of their children are.

Father:Chesley Aaron Rakes
Mother:Sarah Rakes
Spouse:Lucinda Rakes∼Aaron Dehart Rakes;
Company E, 54th Regiment
b. 10-26-1822
d. 06-15-1908

Aaron served in Company E, 54th Regiment,
Confederate Army during the War Between the States
He owned a mill and was released early to go home and grind the neighborhood corn. Aaron's son, Peter, slipped off and joined the Army but was never heard from again.

Aaron and Lucinda Crews (Cruise) (b 12-30-1826 d. 03-30-1905) were married 06-29-1843 in Patrick County.
Aaron was the oldest child of Chesley Aaron (b. 07-13-1800 d. 10-23-1884) and Sarah Dehart Rakes (b. about 1802 d. after June 1880.) Lucinda was the daughter of John Cruise and Mary (Mazy?) Martin.
A. D. was pastor of the Sand Lick Church from 1876 to 1879. He also taught grammar school. There were few settlers at that time; it was mostly virgin timberland. In 1879/80 he moved to the Tarpon community, where he bought a farm and established the Rakes cemetery in which he is buried.
