Although this cemetery is now called the Pettit Cemetery, apparently it is
the old Parker Family Cemetery. It is located in Carroll County Virginia, on 
land that Allen Smith bought from the heirs of Joshua Parker in 1840. The 
cemetery is on a high hilltop, beside an old plantation road, off a private 
drive at the end of Turkey Run Lane, 1.2 miles from Rt. 713 (Elkhorn Road),
in the Crooked Creek Mountain View Estates Development. The development
entrance is 2.5 miles from the intersection of Rt. 713 (Elkhorn Road) and
Rt. 722 (Cranberry Road).

There are three marked graves and evidence of as many as fifty or more
unmarked graves, indicated by fieldstones or sunken ground.

    Although there are no records to prove it, one would have to
    assume that some members of the Joshua Parker Family are among
    the unmarked graves in the cemetery.
