History
Following emancipation, formerly enslaved people from Robert Stafford's plantation on Cumberland Island settled near Bullhead Bluff and found work in the area's timber industry. Many of these settlers took the Stafford surname, and their descendants were buried in a cemetery near Bullhead Bluff Road known by several names, including the Stafford, Gibbs, or Silco cemetery. As of a site visit in December 2020, the cemetery was reported to be heavily overgrown, with most grave markers no longer legible.
The Manning family has owned and subdivided land in the Bullhead Bluff area since the mid-19th century and maintains a private family cemetery there that remains in active use.
