Ebenezer Hearne Cemetery

Located adjacent to the former mansion site of "Estate Place Plantation," owned by Ebenezer and Minerva Walker Hearne, this burial area contains graves of Ebenezer (1817-69) and Minerva (1815- ?) Hearne, their daughter Icephena Hearne Dunklin (1849-74) and several children, names not recorded; a landmark of pioneer days when the Hearne families (1850's settlers) opened cotton plantations that prospered the area. Home of Horatio Hearne, the brother of Ebenezer, stood three miles to the south.
