Elizabeth Terrell Henry was the grand-niece of John Wesley Elam's wife, Elizabeth Nowlin. Elizabeth Henry's mother, Kathryn Nowlin Terrell, inherited the property after the deaths of John Wesley and Lizzie Elam, her aunt.

This began as an Elam slave burial ground and continued to be used by neighboring black families until the establishment of cemeteries at Aspen Hill and Spring Hill churches. The graves are marked only with field stones and coffin sinks. In 2001 we surveyed the site and identified at least 70 graves. While we don't know who is buried in each grave, we do have the names of several people buried there.
