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.

The town it is located in, New Troy, is a ghost town. There were two towns, Old Troy and New Troy. Old Troy was located about 8 or 9 miles up the Suwannee River from present-day Branford," served as the first county seat of Lafayette County. Old Troy burned in about 1856. At that time, a new settlement was made and named New Troy. Postal records show that a post office was established at New Troy on 25 August, 1860.New Troy changed its name to McIntosh in 1861, but by 1871 the town name had reverted back to New Troy.

The New Troy courthouse caught fire and burned down New Year's Eve, 1892. Shortly after this county residents voted to move the county seat to Mayo, where it is today. The removal of the courthouse spelled the end for the
little community of New Troy, and business soon began to fade. The undated article from the Gainesville Sun states that houses were dismantled for their timber and bricks, hardwoods replaced the fields, steamboat traffic ended in 1899, and the ferry closed in 1917.

Troy Cemetery is located approximately two miles north of Troy Springs on property owned by Howell Walker.
