This was an old abandoned cemetery, investigated during the building of the Kentucky Reservoir between August 1942 and December 1943. This cemetery contained no monuments.

Conder Cemetery is discussed in James L. Douthat's book Kentucky Lake Reservoir Cemeteries, Volume 3. This is referred to as Douthat in notes below. Douthat may have worked with original handwritten records. The Douthat work includes maps showing the relative positions of the seven graves in the original and relocation cemeteries. The following is the link to the digital image of this book:

There are a couple known transcriptions of this cemetery:

This cemetery was catalogued and relatives interviewed about this burials for the Kentucky Lake Reservoir Project. Remain permits were executed on the graves of the five persons known to have been buried here, but the exact location of the graves was unknown. So further action was not taken. Cora Nunley, granddaughter, was interviewed about this cemetery.

In the list below, I’ve started with what is recorded on the new searchable TnGenWeb site, compared it to the other transcriptions and made a note of any differences.
