Ebenezer (Ebb) and Martha Bolton settled in this area in the 1850s. 
They established an extensive plantation and owned a number of slaves before 
the Civil War. Following Ebb Bolton's death in 1877, his widow made 
arrangements to provide land to their former slaves. This cemetery, which 
began in 1861 upon the death of Martha Bolton's mother, Rebecca Durley, 
became a part of the Bolton community, a Freedmen's town which built up
 in the area. Both Ebb and Martha Bolton are interred here, as are many of the
 former slaves and their descendants
