About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

African American Cemetery. From Rogersville on Hwy 72 turn right just past first creek on Co. Rd. 51 (Betty Ann Hwy) and take the first road to the left, the cemetery is .01 mile on the left.

It is a large African American cemetery with many unmarked graves, dating back to 1881. It was first named Ingram-thornton Cemetery but the name was changed a few years ago to Thornton Town and is also referred to as Thorptown.
