858    WORTHINGTON, WILLIAM FAMILY

Location - south side of Hines Drive (SR 1122), 0.5 mile west of Ayden Country Club Road (SR 1722).


Survey compiled by William "Bill" B. Kittrell in 2007.

St. Amand calls it Ancient Cannon Graveyard. Lill Jackson calls it Worthington-Cannon cemetery. It is a rather large site but only about one quarter of it has stones. Early Cannons might have been buried here, but there are no stones. Two Cannon women who married Worthingtons are buried here. A number of recent handmade wooden markers indicate probable known burial sites.
