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 cemetery can be located by traveling east from the Turner County and Irwin County line on CR 258 for approximately 3 miles or 4/10 miles west of the intersection of CR 115 and CR 175, Crystal Lake road.
It's about 300 yards south of Cr 258 across a pine tree field and in a small stand of scrub oak trees. It is sometimes referred to as the Porterfield Cemetery by some Irwin County reidents but there is a marker inscribed "Make & Sarh Watson & others". This marker was placed here by Mr. Dan Nasworthy as Make Watson is his ancestor. We first learned of this cemetery from Mr. Hugh Hogan and was taken to it by Mr. Thomas Turner.
Because of this marker we chose to call this the Watson Cemtery. Mr. Turner stated that someone had dugged into a grave, probably seeking a Confederate belt buckle said to be buried with a soldier.
