Cem. Bk which resurveyed this cemetery in 1996: T. H. Grayson, Co. E. 6th TN Inf. Christenia Grayson b: 29 Apr 1831 d: 24 Nov 1915 I went looking for this cemetery today, found it on private property and they asked if you'd call before you came on their land, but were very nice people. Have owned this land for years and years. The cemetery is overgrown so come prepared. The other directions I sent you are for another cemetery which is a couple of miles from this one, found out that was not the one you were looking for. Here is the owners phone# & directions to the cemetery: Call Glenna Castle @ 859 792-8320, she lives about a mile from the cemetery. Once you turn East on #39 from #27 just south of Lancaster, you go 6.8 miles then turn East(left hand turn) off Hwy#39 in Lincoln Co. onto "Old Fall Lick Rd." & this takes you back into Garrard Co. Then you go 2 miles to "Drakes Creek Rd." & turn right. Go about .3 miles and bear left. Go 7/10 of a mile & there's a post on the right side in front of a trailer that says "Castle Way". Turn right on this gravel road going past the trailer on the right, go through the rocky creekbed (is very low right now but may rise once we get some rain), go up the rocky bumpy dirt road & ignore the No Trespassing sign if you call her 1st. You'll see 2 trailers at the end of this gravel road, bear left at the 1st one & go up the hill to where the 2nd one is. Stop at one of these 2 back trailers & let them know you'd like to go to the cemetery. They said you can drive up there but is somewhat grown up with grass/weeds but not too far to walk if you're parked at the farthest trailer. The! cemetery is back behind that last trailer in a stand of trees on the right side of the open path. Hope this isn't too confusing, these directions are a little clearer than the 1st msg I sent, as that ended up being another cemetery about 2 miles away and I was just guestimating. If by some chance you can't get in touch with the lady and no one is home, just leave a note on the door at the last trailer telling them you're up at the cemetery.
