This large community cemetery is located on a hill just west of Highway 22A about six miles south of Lexington. The access drive is about ¼ mile south of Palestine Presbyterian Church. The age of the cemetery is difficult to determine. Oldest marker recorded in the past had an 1847 death year. Oldest marker readable in 1999 has an 1854 death year. The large open areas in the center of the cemetery near the crest of the hill probably had fieldstones marking graves in the past, and most burials before the 1870s would have been marked by fieldstones. There are no fieldstones here now. It is impossible in 1999 to estimate the number of unmarked graves here.

David Donahue recorded this cemetery May 1, 1999 and checked and updated it in April 2004. The cemetery was recorded circa 1976 by Tony Bedwell. His record appears in Henderson County, Tennessee Cemetery Records (R. H. Harris, Memphis, 1976), Vol. II, pp. 385-394. The cemetery also was recorded by the WPA in the late 1930s.
