The "Walton County Georgia Cemeteries (West)" compiled by the East Georgia Genealogical Society lists the cemetery location as 2 miles northeast of Jersey in Land Lot 89, 4th District. GPS coordinates: N 33°43'49", W 83°46'21". "Going north out of Jersey, veer right on Monroe Jersey Road. Continue on Monroe Jersey Road for about 1 1/2 mile until the bridge at Flat Creek is crossed, then continue for .3 mile. Turn on small two rut road on right with gate. From gate proceed 600 feet to old house site on left. Continue 300 feet as road bears left, then go into woods 30 feet to cemetery."
The East Georgia Genealogical Society makes no mention of who owns the land referred to in their description.
The cemetery is entirely in the woods reportedly about 500 yards (this distance may not be accurate) off the highway. It was also reported that the cemetery was over a quarter mile off the road up an old dirt driveway. The driveway reportedly originally led to the Easley home place. In the 1950s the house was no longer there but one fireplace and chimney still stood. This account of the Easley family owning the land has not yet been verified as no land records have been found for the Easley family in this area.
One report from the 1950's has the land where the cemetery sits as owned by Will Allgood. Several reports prior to 2000 have the land as being owned by the Allgood family.
The Allgood family currently (2013) own and have owned land since at least 1900 at what is now the corner of Monroe Jersey Road and Brookhill Drive. The address is listed as 2359 Monroe Jersey Road. This location meets the description provided prior to 1960.
Allgood Brad Homes INC sold the land described by the East Georgia Genealogical Society GPS coordinates to the Needham family in 2009. The address is listed as 2730 Monroe Jersey Rd. No information on the prior owner of the land has been located at this time.
The East Georgia Genealogical Society land description of Land Lot 89, 4th district currently (2013) places the location off of HD Atha Road and near land owned by the Alcova Mountain Baptist Church and down the road from Alcovy Baptist Church. All of this also meets some of the descriptions.
The map location used here is based on the GPS coordinates provided by the East Georgia Genealogical Society since GPS location would be more precise and a representative from the East Georgia Genealogical Society was reported to have actually visited the cemetery and surveyed the cemetery in July of 2001.
All reports state that the cemetery has been neglected and damage has been done to some of the headstones by a large fallen tree. There were reportedly several graves and legible headstones visible.
