Original survey by Navaughnia Ellis Kerr, Kathy Keer Knight & Annie Mae Carr

From Cave Spring, take Hwy 411 west about 5 miles. The Cemetery will be on the left in a yard at the corner of Hwy 411

and Jackson Chapel Loop. This road is also called Williamon Road. Some people still call this the old Williamon place.
At one time the Ellis Family owned most of the land in this section of Cave Spring.



	The will of James Ellis left land set aside for a cemetery and his daughter, Susan Henley Ellis Burge, is to be in the center of it. The Will states in Item 6 that "one quarter of an acre of land of lot number one hundred and one, for a grave-yard. Susan Burge's grave being the center, and I appoint my executor agent to attend to it." Susan Henley Ellis Burge in buried in one of the crypts in Ellis Cemetery and her brother, James Monroe Ellis is buried in the other crypt at Ellis Cemetery. James' crypt is the one closer to Hwy 53. Both cypts are next to each other and under several trees. Susan was the wife of Dalton Burge. Susan and Dalton had a daughter named Susan Lenobia Burge. In James Ellis's will..... In Item 9, he gives his granddaughter, Susan Lenobia Burge items. I believe Susan, the mother, died at childbirth because she died in 1850 and her daughter was born in 1850 and her daughter was listed as being 7 months old on the 1850 census. Dalton remarried a woman named Mary Hensen Rogers Asbury Latimer. Mary married RV Asbury, then she married Thomas L Latimer and then she married Dalton Burge. She is buried in Cave Spring Cemetery in the Asbury plot. Dalton was supposedly hung during the Civil War as a spy for the Confederacy. I don't know if this is a true story or not.
