Rocky Point Cemetery, located in rural Leake County, Mississippi, contains almost one thousand graves. Adjacent to Rocky Point Baptist Church, the cemetery is near the intersection of Rocky Creek Road and Coon Creek Road. Although it was established in the mid-1800s and has many old gravesites, the cemetery contains newer graves, as well. Among those buried here are members of the Atkison, Atkinson, Bobo, Cheatwood, Cockroft, Crowe, Dendy, Durill, Horn, Laney, Lovorn, Paramore, Pickle, Swales, Tolleson, Vines, and Vowell families.
Both sets of my grandparents are buried there.
