About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The cemetery boasts what is believed to be the oldest headstone in Madison County and is the final resting place for more than 20 people including John Hobbs, the man who owned Hobbs Island. His brother, James Fennell, is also buried there. James Fennell died in 1817 and was originally buried in another cemetery. Hobbs died in 1834 and was buried in the family cemetery. Sometime after Hobbs died, the family decided to move Fennell's grave to the Hobbs Family cemetery and picked what they thought was a vacant, unoccupied spot without a headstone. James Fennell was re-buried on top of his brother-in-law, John Hobbs. Fennell's 1817 headstone, the oldest known headstone in Madison County, was also moved to the Hobbs Cemetery.
