Add PhotosListed as the Rufus Henderson Family Cemetery in "Cemetery Records of Tucker, Georgia and Environs (DeKalb & Gwinnett Counties)", Brook, Ted O., 2012, pp 63, which quotes earlier work by historian Franklin Garrett. Specifically, Garrett's "Cemetery Records, Atlanta and Vicinity (1931)", Vol 3. pp 150.
Quoting from Brook:
"Prior Survey/Publications: Mr. Franklin Garrett, "Cemetery Records, Atlanta and Vicinity," Vol 3, pages 150: "Rufus Henderson Family Cemetery" on 2 August 1931. A survey of this cemetery was made by descendant Walter G. Henderson on 18 June 1986 who stated that "4 or more graves were moved by the Evans family." He also noted at that time that there were markers present although few were readable.
(The Franklin Garrett survey of 2 Aug 1931 noted the following markers were present at that time in this cemetery which are not found in the 11 November 2005 survey; there were sixteen graves marked with uninscribed markers):"
End quote.
The following are the graves and markers cited by Brook. Where possible the current location of moved graves is provided. Several graves status could not be determined.
The last three graves are presumed to be Henderson surnames.
