From Lovingston, Virginia, take Route 29N (Thomas Nelson Highway) 4.7 miles, turn left onto Route 623 (Davis Creek Lane) 3.8 miles to 4096 Davis Creek Lane on the right. As this is private property, one should ask permission before going to the cemetery. The pastures are used for cattle and hay. Up the driveway past the farm house with white siding, bearing left around the barn and up the pasture road, and as you round the first bend, the cemetery is to your right up the hill about 100 yards in and near a thicket of trees. The Seay graves once had a wrought-iron fencing enclosing those graves but was removed and is stacked against a farm wire fence. There are several unmarked graves in this area. Some wrought-iron fence pieces remain against the prominent Seay graves. In an unkept grove of trees near, about 20 yards away, are numerous other graves, many of which are just field stones marking graves. Headstones there have received much damage, likely farm animals in the past knocked them over. It appears there has never been fencing in this other area. No maintenance is occuring in the cemetery. The present owner said a child was buried just outside the grove of trees and yet to be marked. He said the property has been in the family for over 200 years.
