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.

Located off Gosling Circle in the Beechwood Lakes Subdivision in the Clear Creek community. Gosling Circle is off Beechwood Lakes Road. The cemetery lot is No. 66 between 169 Gosling Drive and 83 Gosling Circle East. The cemetery is located on private property.
The graves were clustered in a circle under a white oak tree.
About 2005, volunteers restored and cleaned the cemetery. More than 20 field stones marking the graves of slaves were located. Many of the descendants of those slaves live in Henderson County.
Since the restoration and clean up, the white oak tree was cut down and field stones were disturbed and moved.
