AT time of writing, cemetery was over 100 years old, but out of use for over 50 years, per Gladys Thomas, great granddaughter of Joseph Thomas, and her cousin Otis Blankenship, 78. Cemetery property, near Tega Cay horse stables,is owned by Leroy McCall who bought it from Gladys Thomas' mother, and leases it to Tega Cay. Family farm stretched from the present property across the state line into North Carolina. Graves include those of Joseph Thomas, Zeb Caton, other Thomas, Caton, and Wilson relatives. Mack King of Charlotte requested cemetery be fenced off.

===Source notes===
The death notice from the Yorkville Enquirer for Lois Ann Thomas, daughter of Joseph Thomas, names the mother as Mary. This could be misprint, or Mary could be a later wife, and Lois Ann's stepmother. It introduces some uncertainty about the identity of the wife of our Joseph Thomas. If he had several wives, there is uncertainty about who is the mother of each of the children.
