Butts - Simmons Families Cemetery
Hancock County, Georgia, USA
The cemetery is on a hill just prior to reaching the James Butts Cemetery. The two cemeteries are so close, this may be the plantation cemetery of the Butts Family.
There are many unmarked graves. Could be as high as 100+ graves, indicated by depressions, field stones, and very occasionally the remnants of a wooden marker.
Directions:
From the Hancock County Courthouse, go southwest on Hwy 22 for 7.2 miles to Devereux. Turn right (at the backwards fork) onto Main Street. Go 0.2 mile to the dead end and turn left on Jones Chapel / Devereux Rd. Go approximately 2 miles to Powell Grove road on your right. Go on Powell Grove Rd. for 1.4 miles to the end of the pavement and the intersection of Powell Grove, Sandy Run Rd and King Rd. Take Sandy Run Rd which is straight ahead. Follow Sandy Run for 1.5 miles to where it splits. Turn left (onto Road number 148) at the split. Go 0.3 mile to a logging road on the left. Follow (walk) the logging road for 0.8 mile to the cemetery, which will be on the right side of the logging road. The cemetery is on a ridge which looks down on Island Creek to its south.
A GPS or guide is recommended.
