Christopher and William Barbee Family Cemetery
Also known as Barbee Cemetery
Triangle Township, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
Additional information: When Milton Forsyth surveyed this cemetery in March 1996, there were two marked graves and approximately eighteen graves marked by field stones or depressions which are clearly family burials. It is reasonable to believe William's father, Christopher (Kit) Barbee and his wife, are buried here, as this was known as 'Barbee's Mountain' and was their home.
There is a second burial area of about 100 graves which are probably slave burials. The State intends to preserve the cemetery. Christopher Barbee was the major donor of land for the university; William was both steward and superintendent of grounds for the university.
