The McKeown Family Cemetery was visited by John and Cynthia Amick in 2004.  The following is an alphabetical list of those who are buried in the cemetery.  Items in parenthesis ( ) were added by Cynthia Amick.
Most, if not all, of the people buried in this cemetery are descendents of Samuel McKeown.  Samuel McKeown was born in County Antrim, Ireland, and arrived in Charleston, South Carolina in 1767 aboard the "Earl of Donegul."
Once you’ve turned onto Love Road, there is a white two story home behind the grocery.  Past the house, there is a dirt driveway that leads to the cemetery.  The cemetery is enclosed in a chain link fence and can be seen from Highway 321.  Here is a map showing  the location of the cemetery:
