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.

Those at rest in this family cemetery are the descendants and relatives of Perry P. Nesbit (1857-1947) and matriarch, Lovey McAfee Nesbit (1858-1917). The 0.15 acre cemetery is located in the Turnbury Oaks subdivision at 5058 Wickford Dr, Peachtree Corners, Georgia. The cemetery is surrounded by a privacy fence, and the gate is locked. The cemetery was once part of a twenty acre farm in Pinckneyville, Georgia, owned by its namesake. Perry P. was an African-American who, along with his parents, Perry P. Sr. (b.1832) and Fanny (b. 1840), were quite possibly, at one time, the slaves of the Nesbit family who left South Carolina and resettled in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Nesbit female relations have married into the Howell, Smith, Stephens, Weaver and Williams families, and these surnames also grace some tombstones.

One daughter, Miss Clara V. Nesbit, (1897-1989) is also buried here. Miss Nesbit was a teacher in Gwinnett County, from the early 1920s - 1960s. Her untiring dedication in education and strong advocacy in adult literacy within the African-American community earned her the honor of having the Nesbit Elementary School in Tucker, Georgia, named after her.
