Can someone give me exact directions for finding the Holbrook Family Cemetery that is in section III of the "Cemeteries of Forsyth Co.,GA" book? It is shown on the map of Section III on page 155 as being somewhere along or just off of Post Rd.(?) between Bentley Rd. and (maybe) Drew Campground Rd. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who can help with this.

When I copied the cemetery, I found it by turning down the road that runs along the north side of Bethlehem Church (Bentley Road). At the back of the Church property which is on the left looking across the road on the right there was a lot of brush filled woods and the cemetery was at the back of the woods in a northerly direction. Garland and I actually had to go back to the road that runs in front of Bethlehem (Post Road), go up to the then 1st house on left (west side, asked permission and went thru the lady's vineyard, across the fence at the back, southwesterly thru the brush dried pasture grass, that was about knee high, to the back side of the woods. It was there in the edge.

This is the Samuel and Hannah Wilson Holbrook family plot.

Remember this was in the '70s when the population was less than 20,000 (now about 100,000).

In Winnie Tallant's Migrations of Holbrook's on page 25, she has the county tax map 103 which has the square containing the cemetery shown. It shows a house on Bentley Road on the right with the cemetery in a northwesterly direction from the back of the house. (the '80s)

The tax maps have all been renumbered but perhaps the current tax map showing the property northwest of the intersection of Bentley Road and Post Road might have the cemetery marked.

Hope this helps.

I have been to the Holbrook Campground and cemetery. Could this be the one you were looking for? It was located on Holbrook Campground Road. If I hear from you I will try to find exact directions.
