Surveyed by: Buford C. Wilson 18 October 2007

Comments: There is a large bronze marker on a granite slab. It reads as follows: “In this cemetery lie Andrew and Sarah Griggs Hampton–the first Hamptons in Grayson County. Thousands have descended from these two pioneers who settled near this site in 1785.”It appears there are 25 to 30 graves marked with field stones. The cemetery is in very poor condition. The current owners are letting goats graze in it so there are no briars or weeds. However over the years most of the engraved stones have been broken into small pieces or are missing. Most of the graves are only marked with field stones and some of them are strewn about the cemetery.
