Directions: From US 158 southbound make a left onto Aydlett Road [SR 1140].  When the road bends to the right with a feeder road on the left, take the feeder road.  At the stop sign make a left onto Narrow Shore Road [SR 1137], follow the road to Soundside, and make a left into Soundside.  The cemetery is on the second lot before the first street on the right.

NOTE 1:  The tombstones for John Thomas Hampton II and Ufan Williams Hampton were not originally in this cemetery.  They were about 100 foot east of the Jefferson Franklin Sanderson Cemetery on the corner of the feeder road connecting Aydlett Road [SR 1140] and Narrow Shore Road [SR 1137].
NOTE 2:  The death certificate for Leon Butler shows he was buried in the Parker Cemetery.  The earliest known tombstones in this cemetery are for the children of Thomas H. & Ruth Hampton Sanderson; therefore, it is being called the Thomas H. Sanderson Cemetery.
NOTE 3: The informant on the death certificate for James H. Saunders erred.  James' mother was Ruth (Hampton) Sanderson who died in 1888, not Ruth (aka Ufan) Williams.  Ruth/Ufan (Williams) Hampton was James H. Saunders' grandmother.
