This old family burial ground, now hemmed in by shopping-center development off Hammond Drive in Dunwoody, dates back at least to 1848, with rough fieldstone markers hinting at even older graves. When Interstate 285 was planned, the cemetery's location prompted engineers to shift the route of the highway and Ashford-Dunwoody Road slightly to spare it. The Dunwoody Preservation Trust now looks after the site, which holds members of pioneer families such as the Spruills.
