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 is a small family cemetery located near Jeffress in Mecklenburg County. To reach it, drive north from Clarksville, VA, on US 15 and turn right on Rt. 699. This tiny, well-kept cemetery with only 5 marked interments is on the old William Dozier Shelton farm in the woods behind the original homesite. The cemetery had several unmarked graves in the past although they are not evident now.

The family sold the farm in the 1980's, and the new owners have built a dwelling on the site of the original house. Family members only have access to the cemetery. The original house, built before 1870, burned in 1980. An old tobacco packing shed still stands in the woods just behind the cemetery.
