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.

According to verbal family history, this cemetery was initially begun as a cemetery to bury family of William Martin Taylor & Araminta Kelly Legg on their family homestead on Laurel Branch between Keokee and Exeter. There are 4 known but unmarked graves. The cemetery was abandoned and was virtually lost when the family relocated to Abingdon, Washington Co., VA sometime between 1892 - 1900. The last known burial was 1922 which was a non-family member whose death certificate is the ONLY known public record referencing this cemetery.

The cemetery was rediscovered in the early 1970's by Milburn Bush, John Joyce, Anita Pendergrass, and Patricia Dennis as documented by Eula Clarkston in her Keokee News Column stating that there was evidence of 25 or more graves but only 2 modern gravestones in very poor condition. It is believed that the cemetery has since been destroyed and may be impossible to locate at this time.
