Directions: From intersection of US Hwy 52 and NC Hwy 268 in Pilot Mtn, go south on US Hwy 52 for 5 miles and take the Pinnacle exit. At stop sign, turn right on Perch road and go 1.45 miles. Then turn right on Stony Ridge Rd and go 2.8 miles until it dead ends into Shoals Road. Then turn left on Shoals Road and go about 2.4 miles until you get to Butner Road which is just past the old Shoals Baptist Church cemetery on the right. Turn right on Butner Road and go about 1 or 2 miles until Butner Road dead ends at a fence. On the left side of the road at the dead end there is an old road bed (or tobacco road). Follow it about 0.5 to 1 mile (downhill, but not too steep) crossing over a cable blocking the road and the graves are on the right side which is about 300 years from the Yadkin River.

As with any research, if you notice factual errors please send an email for a correction. Many thanks go to Kim Bates (Planning Director for Surry County) and Stan Newman (Local Ordinance Officer) for their participation in locating and documenting this cemetery. As a result of a zoning request to block off the lower section of Butner Road, they were investigating the area and contacted the Surry County Genealogical Association for us to go with them to survey the cemetery.
