This  cemetery is called in the family the "Old Warnock

#11  Eli Warnock and #8 Monica Warnock  came to Laurens
County from Burke Co. about 1830.  Monica Warnock was a

who died in 1832 and reputedly was the first known burial in
this cemetery.  Eli Warnock and Monica Gray Warnock are the
progenitors of most of the Warnocks of central south
Georgia.
