Mary Lee Gentry's notes:
The land was owned by Henry Stinnett and 1.7 acres was deeded for a cemetery. It is fenced, very overgrown with briar and underbrush and has several fallen trees. I found several stones off from the base but not broken. Until the cemetery can be cleaned and an accurate inventory of the markers can be made or official list is found, this is it. My great great grandfather William Stinnett, great grandfather George Washington Stinnett, and William's daughter, Mary Ann Stinnett Shepherd are buried there.
