This very old Cemetery is located in Kingsport,TN off Netherland Inn Road at the end of Brunswick St. A sign is on Nehterland Road with a path that can be walked up and around a hill to the Cemetery, but approx. .2 of a mile further up is a brick apartment building. Turn up the road by the apartment building and take the first right; go to the end of the road. The Cemetery is just ahead.

The sign says in part that the land was originally part of the Col Gilbert Christian Plantation and was deeeded to the the Methodist Episcopal Church by John Lynn and Company in 1827. At that time there was a brick meeting house on the property along with a cemetery. The stone foundation for that building is still visible.

There are a number of unmarked grave site and many field stone. The Lynn's are buried in a walled enclosure. Children and other kin are outside the enclosure along with slaves further to the rear of the cemetery.
