Can anyone help me understand where this cemetery is located and what this statement might mean?

I have a grandmother, Keziah Cave, who may have been buried in this Ohio cemetery. When researching my Cave ancestors, her burial site was questioned. The researcher thought she might be burried in Stanhope Cemetery in Harrison Twp, Ross Co., OH. He described her as "might have wished to be buried with her people." Family lore says she was Native American Indian.

Wife to Elder Benjamin Cave b. 1760 Culpepper Co., VA d. Feb 18, 1842 Ross Co., OH, Private in the Revoluntionary War, and husband to Keziah Unknown, his grave was originally found at Whetstone's farm in Harrison Twp. His tomstone and his dust were moved to Olive Cemetery about 1939, according to papers I found in Byron L. Cave's, Cave Genealogy published about 1949.

Is anyone else researching this family? They lived in Fairfield Co (now Hocking Co) from about 1800-1836 and then moved to Ross Co. until their death. Also searching for any documentation of a grave for Keziah Cave anywhere else in Ross Co. I'd really appreciate your help.

Thank you,
Tina

McGee-Stanhope cemetery is abandonned. I tried to find it two years ago and was in the area but there were signs posted for no trespassing so I did not proceed any further. It is just off Charleston Pike. There is a small road that turns into a private drive called Stanhope road. It is between Spud Run Rd. and Piney Creek Rd.

I see no listing in the RCGS book for anybody named Cave in that cemetery. I checked some of the other books I have for the area and find very few listings for Cave
