On private property.

In the late 1830's, a 640 acre section of land in Harrison County was purchased by the Ham Family. The family cemetery is located behind what was their homestead. The land passed from generation to generation until finally no heirs could be found in the early 1900's.

The cemetery is not mentioned or set aside in any land deeds. Many burials remain unknown, marked only by a large rock or rectangular depressions in the ground. At least twelve burials can be located at the site.

Thomas Jefferson Ham's headstone (the oldest here) faces to the west, and all other remaining/visible markers face to the east.
