Every marked grave inside the iron fence is for a child. Most are bed graves.
The dates span about a 20 year period just prior to the Civil War, all from the same family, the Brandons. In at least one case, two children died within a week of each other, suggesting they succumbed to an infectious disease such as a diptheria or measles (it was too early in the year for it to have been yellow fever). 
The large table grave is for a son who made it to the age of 18.The markers are in remarkably good shape in terms of weathering, but have experienced vandalism.
[The cemetery is not normally a pond -- I just happened to stop immediately after a really heavy rainfall.]
