It is on the left after you cross the White Chimney River. It is believed that Forbes was the family that owned the property where the cemetery is located. There are probably Forbes family buried here as well, but the two remaining are these listed below which are under a very large Live Oak Tree. 1. W. E. Cannon b. 25 June 1834 d. 15 Mar. 1861 2. Susannah E Durant b. 1839 d. 27 Sept. 1855 **Note: These were only Two headstones left standing, but you could see where some of the other graves are located. It is unknown at this time who is in these unmarked graves. NOTES: Charles Fisher cmf2etfga@mindspring.com W. E. Cannon b. June 25, 1834 d. Mar 15 1861 was a son of William James Cannon of Cannon's Bluff which is in the Shellman area. The wife of William Edwin Cannon was Mary Elizabeth Deverger b. 1814, McIntosh County, GA, d. 1911 place unknown. One child Mary Elizabeth Cannon b. 13 Jul 1856 also in McIntosh County, GA. Susannah E. Cannon Durant was a sister to William E. Cannon and therefore a d/o William James Cannon and Ann Eliza McCollough. I still cannot tie them as a relative to any of the Forbes family however I believe that they were most likely neighbors who donated the two graves that we have been talking about. Susannah E. Durant was the wife of Joseph Durant who was living in the home of William James Cannon in the 1830's and the 1840's. She died in childbirth.
