Edwin Johnson Robertson Jr. Cemetery
Location: beside 3512 Woodsdale Road (SR 1326)
Directions: US501N to Woodsdale Road; Woodsdale Road to Woodsdale; Cemetery is just north of Woodsdale on the right side of road.
Access: Close to the road, within block wall, beside woods containing Woody cemetery.
Survey: July 7, 2004 by Ed Clayton and Mar 2005 by Ken Dalton and Becky Farlow
GPS: 36 29 32.8 N 078 57 39.9 W
Ownership: This cemetery has been deeded to the Person County Historical Society. The tract is identifed in book 179 pages 261, 262, 263, 264. The plat was recorded in Register of Deeds on Aug 7, 1984
The tract is identifed in GIS (tax records) as record number 16686; is shown on tax map A57 79; and is indentified by PIN 0919-00-18-4138.000. The plat was recorded in Register of Deeds in 1980 as 19-321. (This is in conflict with the date above - verify.)
This cemetery was combined with the cemetery donated by the Woody family into a single 1.77 acre tract but is listed separately here because the burials are distinctly separate. All the burials at Robertson are within a block wall. Woody burials are 200 feet from the wall. The Woody Cemetery is the former site of the old Woodsdale Methodist Episcopal Church

Rogers Cemetery
Location: High Plains School Road.
GPS Coordinates: 36° 31' 54"N, 78° 51' 04"W (WGS84/NAD83)
Topographic Map

This cemetery has been moved to the Bethel Hill Baptist Church Cemetery. I have included it here because it is listed as a part of the USGS National Mapping Information site. The list that results from searching the site for Person County cemeteries is listed on the Person County Cemeteries on USGS Maps web page.
The graves in this cemetery were moved when Carolina Power & Light Company (now Progress Energy) purchased the land for inclusion in Mayo Lake, then being constructed as a part of the Mayo Power Plant. The permits for disinterment / reinterment for this cemetery are recorded in book 88, page 256 and following, in the Person County Register of Deeds. Moving the graves was completed on July 8, 1976. The permits were recorded on August 4, 1976.

Directions: NC 57 (Semora Road) from Roxboro to a right Morton Pulliam Road (1342). Left on Jack Hamrick Road (SR 1339). Cemetery is on the right directly across from the house at 241 Jack Hamrick Road.
Access: This cemetery is adjacent to Jack Hamrick Road and has a small drive from the road, thus being easy to visit.
Owner: This cemetery is located on a large tract of land owned by Robert Morton et. al. as of July 2004. The property is identified as taxmap A26 25 and PIN 9987-00-85-2849.000.
Condition: Maintained. Although small (12 marked graves, 2 graves marked with field stones) and little used, the most recent burial was the burial of an infant in January 2003.
GPS Coordinates: 36 25 52.8 N 079 02 34.0 W
Survey: July 21 2004 by Ed Clayton.

I have named this cemetery the "John Rogers Cemetery" because his grave and that of his wife Elizabeth appear to be the oldest in the cemetery and they are both the only graves in the cemetery located inside a fence. I welcome information recording the family connections of those buried in this cemetery and will add it as comments here.

Graves:
(The information below is an exact transcription of the information on the stones. Different lines on a stone are marked by a slash. Comments are in parentheses.)

1. Nettie Duncan / Wife of / G. R. Rogers / Sept 24, 1875 / May (or Mar?) 20, 1903 / (I did not find a G. R. Rogers buried here.)
2. Infant of / G. R. and Della Rogers / Died / Oct 13, 1910 / (Based on this inscription, one can assume that G. R. Rogers was married to Nettie Duncan first and Della ? second.)
3. Williard Lee Ridgeway / Feb 28, 1929 / Apr 1996 /
4. Izellar R. Tamey / May 19, 1916 / Dec 23, 1974 /

14. Two graves are marked by field stones. There could possibly be more unmarked graves in this cemetery.
