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.

Follow the farmroad along a stonewall lined with trees and vines. Graveyard is on the right about 200 yards down the dirt farm road. There are 2 parts. One has marked graves. The other is field stones. There are 21 field stones. Stakes have been driven in next to many of them for easier identification. Information on the cemetery comes from Kim Brownlee 1989, Helen Hawkins 1991, and James Whitehead 2013.

4 graves in the marked area have no headstones. 3 with field stones. 1 with a base but no marker.

According to family tradition, Thomas Ashby Hawkins removed the graves from the Hazel Mountain community along Sam's Ridge to the current location. This happened sometime in the 1920s or 1930s. The Department of the Interior acquired the Hawkins, Burke, Dodson, Woodward, Jenkins, Weakley homesteads to create the Hazel Mountain portion of Shenandoah National Park. The graves were located to this farm which was once owned/rented (not sure which) by the Burke family. Thomas Hawkins farmed for many years on Hunters Road nearby before relocating to Cedarville sometime in the 1940s.
