To reach cemetery take US 80 west from Swainsboro to Kemp Rd., Kemp Rd. southeast to Ebenezer Church Road, then .65 mile to its dead-end at Hall Bridge Rd., right on Hall Bridge Road .25 mile to Coleman Church Road, left .95 mile to cemetery.

Cemetery is enclosed by a chain-link fence. The cemetery is well maintained.

According to a sign at the entrance, this cemetery was established in 1800 and closed in 1885. Reubin Thompson, whose remains are buried here, founded Ebenezer Methodist Church (then named Green Leaf Log Church) in the 1790's.

I transcribed Jan 21, 1998 from all known tombstones.
