  • There are actually 3 Robert Johnson graves in the Greenwood area, as well as a potters field where he was supposedly actually buried initially, but then supposedly a family member had him disinterred and moved to another location.

  • Please see the EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT of RJ's burial by Ms. Rosie Estridge located on thedeltamediaproject home page. It settles the dispute.
