Comment [1996] - To reach the site, drive past the turnoff to the headquarters and keep to the left up the hill to the parking lot adjacent to the picnic area (note: the road to the right leads down to Few's Ford with the old Piper-Dixon residence on the right). The cemetery lies just in back of the picnic area: walk down the trail to the left of the picnic area about 100 paces from the parking lot; turn right and walk about 25 paces into the woods among some large oak trees. You are in the cemetery; look for the depressions and some small stones marking the head and foot of some of the graves. The plat (link above) is a helpful sketch of visible stones, trees, stumps and indentions but with no burial markings or grave indentifications.
