JONES COUNTY GA Cemetery Hungerford - Nelson Cemetery File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by David V. Clinard" Location: Tranquilla District-Georgia Militia District 301 of Jones County, GA. Stonewall enclosure. North of Gray off of US 129, turn left at Shoal Creek Rd; you will see a stone wall enclosed area on the right about 20 yards down the road. This area is on Hungerford Family property. The stone enclosure measures about 25 feet by 18 feet and is about 4 feet high. Only one headstone is visible in the enclosed area: Several graves marked with stones only are visible. Up on a hill above this stone enclosure is a marker reading "Hungerford - Nelson". Detailed instructions in finding the grave is given below: NEHEMIAH DUNN Born 1753? Revolutionary War soldier Died: May 8 1821. Sacred to the memory of Nehemiah Dunn who died May 8 1821, aged 68. Coming from Macon ( south of Jones County) head north on US 129 all the way to Gray. Turn left on GA Hwy. 11 North before crossing the railroad tracks in Gray. This highway will take you toward Bradley, Round Oak, Wayside, and Monticello. Drive north to Bradley, (about 4 miles) and turn RIGHT on Hungerford Road (paved and identified with street sign). Drive about 6 miles and you will see Shoal Creek Road on your LEFT (gravel dirt and identified by street sign). Immediately at your right is a well kept clearing with tall hardwood and pine tree). This is the grave site. The stone wall enclosed area is visible from the road. Coming from Eatonton (north of Jones County) head south on US Hwy 129. About 7 miles into Jones County, you will see Ellis Church Road on your left. The road straight across on your right is Damascus Church Road. The area at this intersection is known historically as Blountsville, and in fact, there are 2 or 3 official state of Georgia historic marker signs at this intersection identifying the area as the former community of Blountsville. Turn right down Damascus Church Road (dirt with some gravel and no street sign) and drive about 3 or 4 miles. The road will eventually become paved. After you top a hill on the paved part of the road you will see New Damascus Church on your right as the road makes a 90 degree curve to the left. Just a few hundred feet past the curve turn right on Shoal Creek Road (the same spot I described earlier coming from the south). The stone wall enclosure containing the Dunn grave will be visible on your right. ======================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
