Very accessible. Located directly across the road from the little First Christian Church at Chestnut Bluff. The nearest intersection is ELI YOUNG Rd – also known as Bruceville Slab Rd, which intersects Chestnut Bluff-Maury City Rd in front of the GILLILAND house at 7935 Chestnut Bluff-Maury City Rd. Coming from Dyer CO on the Bruceville Slab Rd, and turning left on Chestnut Bluff Rd-Maury City Rd, the cemetery is to your immediate right, abt. 500 feet up the well-kept farm lane which goes straight to the cemetery. The cemetery adjoins the property of WILLIAM GILLILAND.

The family burial ground is presently maintained by JOHNNY CHERRY, gr-gr-gr grandson of Mrs. Abba Moss b. 1790, who is buried there.
