This very old family cemetery has been almost destroyed. There is definite evidence of graves buried here: depressions, rock and brick markers, various buried pots for flowers, grave lined with bricks. All information is from family records, Bible records, will, and census. Internets as early as 1804 and as late as 1926.

A title search done on the cemetery location showed that the property had been owned by the family since David Strickland purchased 287-1/2 acres (originally granted to Robert Smart on Oct 13, 1785) from Reuben Jones of Greene County on Dec. 24, 1792. The last portion of the 287-1/2 acres went out of the family in the 1940's.

Directions:
From the Hancock County Courthouse, take Hwy 22 southwest for 7.2 miles to Devereux. Turn right (at backwards fork) onto Main Street. Go 0.2 mile to the dead end and turn left on Jones Chapel / Devereux Rd. Go about 4 miles. Just prior to reaching the old abandoned store on the left is a driveway. Turn left and follow the driveway for about 1/4 mile until it dead ends. Walk 100 yards past the old home place to the approximate location of the cemetery.
