This cemetery is in a very remote and uninhabited area of 
Patrick County, Virginia.  It has been abandoned.  This 
cemetery is on land that is owned by the United States Army 
Corps of Engineers.   It is at GPS coordinates 36.80893, 
-80.09522.   Here are the driving AND walking directions.   
From Fairy Stone Park Highway in Patrick County, turn on 
Fairy Stone Lake Highway.   Take the second left on Union 
Bridge Road.   Go for six or seven miles and turn right at 
Union Primitive Baptist Church onto Union Church Road.   
Stay on this road and as you crest a hill, Will Spencer Road 
turns to your right.   This is a dirt road.   Go to the end 
of the dirt road.   There is a gate to your left and a gate 
to your right.  You will have to park your car there. Take 
the left gate and you will go through another gate.   After 
you pass that gate, you will see a road bed to the right 
with another gate.   Go down that road bed and remain on 
that road bed as you go under the American Electic Power 
line and to an open field.   Hug the left side of that field 
right at the woods until you have to enter the woods on the 
left side.   Philpott Reservoir will be down below you on 
the left.   Just keep going with the reservoir and you will 
walk just under 500 feet in the forest and the cemetery is 
there.   Again, you can see the reservoir from this 
cemetery.  It is about a one mile walk from the end of Will 
Spencer Road.   Also the Lancaster Hall grave sits nestled 
somewhat in the corner of the access roads that lead to this 
cemetery.  There are at least two other unmarked graves in 
the cemetery represented by crude fieldstones.
