The area is heavily wooded with patches of brambles and vines. The cemetery has numerous fallen limbs on it and the area around it was logged in the past. In a letter from W Ernest Blalock, dated 20 Jul 1977 addressed to Mary Claire Engstrom: "My curiosity being more than I can cope with, I visited the old Paul Family cemetery today near Efland, NC. I visited with Mr. Bill Dorsett as you suggested; he sent me on to see Miss Maude Faucette for more information after telling me how to find the graveyard. Miss Faucette did not have much information although she said some of her ancestors did marry Pauls. I found only four markers with names and dates. There must be between 50 to 100 graves in this cemetery that covers about an acre of ground. There are numerous brown rocks marking gravesites. The Paul family owned many slaves and they are probably buried here also. There are large trees and evidence that there were many huge cedar trees in years past. Mr. Jimmy Cheek, who owns the farm now, is very interested in the cemetery and the history of his farm. His place of work was closed and he may have to sell and move to Ind. to follow his trade. He has owned the farm for only one year. This cemetery will cease to exist in a few years. All four of the markers are broken and/or dislodged from their proper place. It is in a pasture and trampled by livestock. There are numerous fences to cross to get to it. Mr. Cheek said that when he bought the farm last year, there was fresh dirt around one grave as though someone had been digging in it. He also told me about people looking for things on the farm with metal detectors. I firmly believe that this was the homeplace of my John Paul." GPS Coordinates: 36 06 40.3 N 79 10 50.9 W
