From the east side of I-285, take I-20 East to Exit 68, Wesley Chapel Road; Go .2 miles south on Wesley Chapel; go left 3.5 miles on Snapfinger Road; turn left on Brown's Mill Road and proceed 3.5 miles to Flat Bridge Road on your right; cross over railroad tracks on Flat Bridge Road through entrance to DeKalb County Pole Bridge Waste Water Treatment Plant, 600+ acres. Follow Flat Bridge Road 1/4 mile and as road bends to the left you will find a gravel road on your right. Take this gravel road and you will see one of the plant offices, trailer on your right. Continue straight on gravel road about 1/4 mile, look for small yellow field signs at each field entrance. Look for numbered fields 31/32 on your left, park at entrance to field, walk across field to the back left corner. Look for path that allows entrance to the woods. Follow path 1/4 mile, approaching crest of hill look for cemetery on your left, encircled by a stone wall. I advise anyone to call first for permission from Plant Superintendent (770-593-9651) to visit the grave site because of the spraying of sludge on the fields. Use satellite image to understand location.

You will find this family cemetery, long since fallen into disuse, occupies an area about 75 feet square and is surrounded by a rock wall about 4 feet high. Entrance is gained through a heavy iron lattice gate in the north wall. There are several graves outside of the closure, none of which bear inscribed markers, most probably the graves of slaves belonging to the Hulsey family. All of the graves inside the wall area are marked by horizontal box tombs with the one exception of that of Mrs. K.C. Jones which bears an upright tablet.
