HENRY HOLLAND CEMETERY #1 The Henry Holland Cemetery is located 3.5 miles South of Metter on Hwy. 129 (Metter-Claxton Hwy) at the top of a hill on the left just 1/4 mile past the Canoochee Bridge. The cemetery is very old with some of the stones almost illegible. It is not used very much today. There are a few indentions, indicating that other graves may have existed. It is high up on the hill right next to the highway, but is hardly visible without going up on the hill. It is surrounded by trees. The site measures 75 ft. X 54 ft. Earliest grave marking is 1852. 1. Henry Holland PVT Col. Murphy’s Regt. NC Troops Rev. War March 1, 1757 June 26, 1852 2.
