The first known survey of this cemetery was done by noted genealogist Dr. Allan E. Marble on September 16, 1966. Per his usual procedure, he did not give the cemetery a name but instead assigned it an identifying number. For this cemetery, the number was 19. He recorded the location as Hampton.

At a later date, Genweb volunteers transcribed Dr. Marble's survey notes and made them available online at Rootsweb. At that time, the volunteers named it "Hampton Cemetery" but, in the cemetery index, they listed the name simply as "Hampton". They cited the location as Hampton.

Dr. Marble transcribed 175 headstones containing 352 inscriptions. The oldest identifiable stone is from 1838. This is an active cemetery, so the number of headstones is now greater than Dr. Marble's count in 1966. He noted that the headstones were generally in good condition.

DIRECTIONS: This cemetery is located on the north side of Shore Road West, down a driveway between Civic #8151 and #8157. The white arched sign (shown in the cemetery photo gallery) came down a few years ago. Now there is a sign attached to the fence of the right-of-way leading in.
