Michael: I'm providing a link to the Georgia GenWeb site, Fayette County. Just click "Lookups" and you'll find a gentleman who has volunteered to do lookups in cemetery record book. The instructions are clear.

Don't get your hopes up though, a 166 year old gravesite, on private land - that's a tough one but if it was a family cemetery on land that they owned for a long time then you might just get lucky. I just did and received photos of headstones from the same time period. The little cemetery is in the middle of a field, on private land, and the owners have always just ploughed around it but never disturbed it. Good Luck.
