Is listed in Blount County Cemetery Book and is well known that this cemetery existed. According to Dave Ledbetter it was a small cemetery that consisted of fieldstones and was not far from the loop road. The general area he remembered it correlates with Pete Prince’s map. Even though Prince’s findings were from dowsing, the cemetery was known to be in the area he indicated. I found the quartz stone he refers to in his map. I also dowsed over the area with the same results as Prince. It would have been nice if the park would have preserved this cemetery or at least put up a memorial marker indicating the exact site of the cemetery. In some books, such as the Hill-Coada book on Cades Cove the cemetery is shown as the Orebank Cemetery. Thus, while exact location may or may not have been found, it is certain that the cemetery was located in this area.
