  1. Looking for actual location of the Old Cannon cemetery/Cannon Cemetery Cumberland Presbyterian. Have notice a location of 6.3 mi on Sain Rd then turn left on Burnette Mills Rd.
    Would like to have this in Lat/Long for verification.

    Tks,
    David Quinn

    • That is all the information I have at this time for this cemetery. I have not visited it yet. I am working on the cemeteries again (now that ticks and snakes have slowed down) and will try to look for this one soon. If you find out any more information, please let me know.

      Regards,

    • I visited the area in early December and was not able to find this cemetery. Much of the area has been converted to planted pine making it difficult to locate anything. I did find Oak Hill cemetery which is nearby and conducted a survey of it.
