If traveling west on Rockland Rd which turns into Turner Rd. at the county line, the cemetery is on the right just where the road curves. If you come to a house and a subdivision, you went too far. It's very difficult but not impossible to see from the road altho you have to park on the side of the road where it's wide enough for a car and walk back to the cemetery. It is very overgrown and in the summer has a healthy population of ticks,. Joseh GREGORY Matilda GUINN son of wife of J A & E E Gregory Gideon W.

Also Elizabeth was his wife. John Dove and Elizabeth lived on a farm across the street from the cemetery. Elizabeth's maiden name was Whitehead and her son was John W. (Whitehead) Guin.
