This cemetery is located at the corner of Etris Rd. and Magnolia
Crescent Dr., just at the entrance to the Wexford subdivision
in Roswell. If you turn into the subdivision, it's on the left,
kind of behind the brick entry sign, surrounded by a green pickett
fence. There are two wild cherry trees and a black walnut tree
in the lot. This area of Fulton County was at one point Cherokee
County, and then part of Milton Co., before the annex into Fulton
in the 1930's. Etris Rd. is an old road and is near the intersection
of Hardscrabble Rd. and Crabapple Rd., both also old roads in
the area.
There is just a single, undated stone which reads: Sacred to
the memory of Daniel and Ann Butler. I looked hard for a date,
but there appears to be none at all.
I did a little research on the Butlers to see whether there
might be other unmarked graves, but it appears that as soon
as Daniel died, his son, who was the only one in the area, left
pretty quickly after that. I did talk to one descendant who
said there could be a second unmarked infant grave there, but
I have seen no evidence.
Daniel Butler died in 1878. I have never found a date for his
wife's death. He purchased the land that it sits on (as well
as my house, I suppose) between 1835 and 1839 through a series
of purchases.
That's about all I know about this one. I don't think it appears
in the big collection of Fulton Co. cemeteries, since it is
so small and was hidden at the time that was done.
