NASH/LEE FAMILY CEMETERY
Five Forks Trickum Road, Snellville, Cates District, Gwinnett County, Georgia

Audited in the fall of 2000 by Joyce Cowan (BjoyceCowan@AOL.com).

In Snellville, driving east, turn left onto SR124 (Scenic Highway). Go to Oak 
Road, turn left. Continue on Oak Road until you reach Five Forks Trickum Road 
then turn left. You'll pass Yellow River Baptist Church on the left and will 
cross over the Yellow River bridge. Almost immediately you'll come to the old 
Lee home place. There is an old unpainted barn on the right, next to the 
street and the drive to the cemetery is a dirt road on the left directly 
across from the barn. The drive ends in an open field and the cemetery is on 
a sight rise to the left.

As you come up the hill, the first row that you come to is the one that I 
have labeled #1. The backs of the tombstones face the hill so I began at the 
far right side of row #1. I then listed the graves from the left to the 
right. Anything written in (parenthesis) and italics is my comments.
