Located on steep slope near top. It's in a stand of trees near the western edge of a large pasture. The closest residence is the preacher's house with the driveway in the middle between the house, and the hillside. On the south side of 226 looking from the roadway - the cemetery hill is left, cattle gate in middle, and Preacher's driveway toward the right. A local land owner and historian served as a guide as we entered through the cattle gate. More markers are likely under the leaves, and soil. Cattle have grazed in this area over the centuries and caused destruction to the cemetery.

According to local historians, the cemetery is located on (or adjacent to) the property of Garrett and Mary Vansant. It is strongly suggested that the couple is buried in this cemetery. We have not done scientific or other research to determine how many sinks/ graves may be in this family graveyard.

A modern spelling of Van Zandt appears on the cemetery name since we have no old, published surveys indicating any previous name(s) for this old burying ground. People that live in the area refer to it as Mooney - Van Zandt Cemetery.
