Greg,
It is a small family plot located on private property just a few yards from Oconee Rd. The graves are a few feet from an abandoned plantation plain style home. The property is about 1/2 mile south of the Apalachee River just before it flows into Lake Oconee. Most of the online map programs do not show this area accurately. I believe they are relying on old maps that existed before the lake and some of the newer roads. The nearest town is Buckhead.
The property is currently being used as a hunting camp. If you were ever here and wanted to visit, contact me. I live less than 2 miles from this location, and I can make arrangements with the owners for you to visit.
