Historic cemetery for Green Level Plantation. In 1937 there were 4 tombstones that were transcribed.

After visiting this location recently, the main house for Green Level is gone. What is left are the foundation and chimney bricks and basement. The actual wooden structure has long since fallen down and been removed. The outbuildings are in various stages of dilapidation. There is a barn, cow pens, fencing, and at a distance are 2 more outbuildings that are in better shape. You can see the layout of this plantation via google maps. It is entirely surrounded by plowed farm fields. According to the 1937 research, James Powell purchased the land from William Parker in 1789. Ten years later (1799), he brought additional property from Jos. L. Hawkins. The remaining acreage was purchased from the Estate of William Parker. James left his property to his children and Ptolemy Powell bought out his siblings. Green Level endured throughout the Civil War and afterward became the Academy.
