Now under the waters of Cherokee Lake, the original Noeton Baptist Church Cemetery was located behind the original church on the right bank of the Holston River at mile post 70. In 1940, this location was determined by TVA to be below the level of the future Cherokee Lake, forcing the relocation of the church, now known as Noeton Missionary Baptist Church, to its present location on Newman Hollow Road, and the creation of a new church cemetery across the road from the relocated church.

The survey of the original cemetery showed 46 graves, but only sixteen of them were identified. The thirty unidentified graves were all reinterred at the relocated cemetery, at the present Noeton Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery. Of the sixteen identified graves, none were moved to the new Noeton Church cemetery location, but to other cemeteries in Grainger and Hamblen Counties. Four identified graves were requested to remain, although there are markers for at least three of them in the relocated cemetery, so the markers were likely moved, even if the graves themselves were not.
