About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The cemetery is located on left side of Jim Day road 1/2 miles from State Road 56.
This is the oldest cemetery of the African-Americans of Washington County.
The church and cemetery was abandoned in 1860 when many of the African-Americans moved out of the county, although John Williams was buried there in 1863.
The grounds were fenced by the Washington County Cemetery Commission. A stone was set in 1981 and paid for by the John Williams Negro Scholarship Fund, Miss Lulie Davis and the Washington County Cemetery Commission.
