About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This African-American burial ground is called Rock Hill. It was established in 1865. It was entered as "Stony Point" in a cemetery census book, but the real name is Rock Hill.

At one time, this area was a thriving farming community, until Lake James was built and the community was split by the lake waters. Rock Hill church did not survive the split, but the cemetery still exists.

More than half of the graves are marked with stones. Many of the names of the people in these graves have been found in county death certificate records.

The cemetery is located in Lake James State Park /Paddys Creek. Check with the ranger for access.
