For more information see the book Maury County Tennessee Cemeteries, 1987, VOL II,  page 689, for more genealogies, history, cemetery listings & analysis. Listed in They Passed This Way, Lightfoot & Shackleford, page A-134. Mr Fred in MCTC mentions there were several stones not found by him that the book Authors of T.P.T.W. found in the 1960s. We found three more dycus memorial listings than he did but the Peytons memorials were moved so this visitor missed one stone that Mr. Fred found. That is the James N. Noles memorial. Likely that has sunken into the ground and is hard to find.

This cemetery is basically abandoned though someone is bush-hog mowing around the premises. That is not good. The bush-hog mower is gouging the stones and causing serious damage where the stones are in the open away from trees. 

This cemetery previously was known as the Peyton Cemetery with a secondary name of Patton Cemetery. Since many of the Peyton graves were moved to Arlington Cemetery it is fitting to now predominately call it the Patton Cemetery with the secondary name of Peyton Cemetery.
