The owner of the property and house next door was told this was probably an African American cemetery. The base of the headstone has fallen into the depression, and the headstone appears to have fallen backwards and away from the depression. I have not been able to identify this individual from census returns etc. If you know who this is, and who is family was, please contact me. Thank you. (I could direct you how to locate the grave(s) with certain landmarks).
