I have visited the cemetary and found it quite interesting but does anyone know where the town might be?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no town there today, during the gold rush in NC there was a post office & store on the brackett town road going to the cemetery. There was a lot of activity there in those days. I was just up there this past month and tested a friend's stream and found some color. Vein Mtn,. Recreational Miners Club (VRMC) has some land leased on this road, they can be contacted thru Lucky Strike Gold Mine. Most of the people buried in the cemetery are African Americans with some white people buried mostly out in the woods around the cemetery. Hope this helps. Buckshotnc
