This cemetery is on family owned property with a house and private cemetery on it. The mailing address of the house is in Waverly Hall, Harris County, Georgia but the physical location of the house and cemetery is in Talbot County, Georgia on Hwy 208 East (Tuck Pearsons Hwy).

We call it the Story-McDaniel Family Cemetery and tend to refer to the area as part of the Olive Branch Community and O'Neal District.

The family cemetery sits atop a little hill in the pasture in back of the Storey-McDaniel homeplace. Many generations of Storeys (also spelled "Story") and McDaniel's are buried there. We believe there is even a confederate soldier interred there.

The state of Georgia did not require a birth or death certificate until 1919. Some churches and counties in the state recorded birth and death information before that time. The state didn't complete enforcement of birth and death certificate filing until around 1926-1928. This makes identifying some of the older graves whose information has eroded over time quite difficult.
