Additional Information about the Harrison Cemetery

The fenced cemetery is approximately 120 ft by 75 ft. The fence posts are from the Mary Lee Jones Hamilton Family home in Jacksonville which burned in the great fire of 1901, while the fence was salvaged from a Tennessee cemetery moved during the creation of Tellico Lake.

The Harrison Family Cemetery was previously surveyed prior to 1954 (Harrison Private Cemetery, Amelia Island, Nassau County) and later in the 1990’s and reported in Cemeteries of Amelia Island Florida (1997). The 2013 Survey team is shown in the attached photograph.

The Survey document completed by Jim Miller for the latest survey in 2013 can be seen here.
