Located:  Almost a mile off Oakley road on the old Ragan Plantation (now owned by the Goode Family) between Fairchild Crossing and Oakley in central Hinds County, MS (S2T4NR3W).  This site may have also been known in the earliest years as Battle Springs.
Recorded:  By Mary Collins Landin, on 8 May 1979
First Grave:  1830

Remarks:  This old abandoned cemetery is behind the old Ragan homestead and in the edge of a soybean field.  At one time a public lane to the Ragan house passed by the cemetery, many years ago.  There are several visible unmarked graves.  McLemore’s 1973 History of Mississippi notes a Battle Springs Christian Church, long since gone, was founded here in the 1830s.
