Lynch Cemetery, 80-3 Summary Report, page 4
There appear to be indications of 11 likely graves, but the cemetery could hold up to at least 15 in total. The cemetery is located in the northeastern corner of the NW/4 of the SE/4 of Section 20, Township 5 South, Range 1 West. It is on the north side of Buxton Road, on a small hill, about 30 feet from the fence along the road. There is a nearby (to the west) gate through the fence, but it is normally locked. The gate of the cemetery's chain link fence is not locked, but it is sagging somewhat. In general, this cemetery, like most others on the arsenal, is well maintained and mowed.
In Dorothy Scott Johnson's book “CEMETERIES OF MADISON COUNTY, ALABAMA, VOL. I” (1971), she reports that the 1850 census as recorded on November 16 has:
