D. Floyd I cannot give good directions to this cemetery. Go to Lake James and find Highway NC-126 and go west across the Canal Bridge. Follow NC-126 for three or so miles and find a gravel road going off to the left as you are going around a left turn in NC-126. A little ways down this gravel road you will find a locked gate. It will be up to you to get permission to open the gate and drive down the trail about a mile or better and the cemetery will be on the left in the woods. This cemetery is on the USGS map for the area. I was there June 5, 2001 and I am sure that I missed a few markers. There are many marked with fieldstones.
