From Georgia 63, turn north on Cedar Ridge Road, then second right on Westbrook Road. Cemetery is approximately 2 miles on the right. There are approximately 22 visible graves, assuming that all have both a headstone and footstone. Six have formal engraved markers. The other 16 are marked with fieldstones. The fieldstones appear to have been hand-etched at one time, but are now unreadable. The oldest visible marking is dated February,1850. The cemetery is located on what was the Westbrook Family farm. However, verbal family history indicates that family members from the neighboring farms of Coker and Fincannon are also buried here. 1. Large 3 foot granite obelisk on base F.A.
