Coker ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cornelius Stephenson cemetery located in Northampton Co., NC is located between Garysburg & Gumbury on the Southside of Highway 168. The farm is approximately 1 mile on the Southside of the Blackwell Stephenson road and is accessed by driving into the farm-shop area and crossing the airplane runway. The cemetery appears as a grown-up area, but has a large cedar tree which makes it easy to find. The cemetery has been allowed to grow up and the graves are not very evident without pulling ground vines and undergrowth back. There is evidence that an iron fence enclosed the cemetery in earlier years. There are 3 graves marked with cement slabs, and there maybe others Surveyed by W. J.
