Privately owned land. Cemetery sits on 1/4 acre of land once part of the John Miller Hobson Mill and Homestead known as "Mill View" (also documented as "Millview"). John Miller Hobson was born around 1750 and died in 1824 and was married to Susannah Hatcher Hobson.

Most recent documentation was noted and generously shared by the Powhatan County Historical Society of Virginia: "Location: West side of the former Bold Spring Road, present Cumberland County, Virginia, Secondary Route 654, approximately two and a half miles south of U.S. Route 60. It is on the grounds of Covance Research Products, Inc. (formerly HRP, Inc.). Under the escort of Mr. Ron Bumgardner on April 18, 1997, Page Hurt Clark, Gregory Pastor and the author discovered sixteen sites - seven that were marked with fairly modern tombstones - about a quarter of a mile west of the present company headquarters. The site is fenced in by old wire identical to the fencing that originally enclosed Hobson's Chapel burying ground. A blanket of periwinkle, so familiar to old burying places, completely covers the plot. Old boxwood is now as tall as trees, and ivy has climbed to the tree's upper branches."
