The Cantey Family Cemetery is located about four miles east of the town limits of St. Stephen, off Highway 45 East, in dense forest. The old cemetery is located south of the Rediversion Canal, formerly Mattassee Lake.

The Cantey Family Cemetery is also known as the Mattassee Plantation Cemetery. Mattassee Plantation was the home of Charles Cantey, father of Charles Cantey buried here, who manufactured brick and cut timber, which was used in constructing the Old Parish Church (St. Stephen Episcopal Church) located in St. Stephen.

The Cantey Family Cemetery is unmarked with nothing to indicate where the old Cantey family residence once stood. Due to time and weather, the inscriptions on tomb-stones are not easily read.
