      The Vincent Carney Family Cemetery is located on the the hillside just past Denton's Chapel Baptist Church on Dry Fork Road, Whites Creek, TN. There are over 40 visual burials there but only 4 headstones. Many graves are marked simply with stones. The cemetery has no tie to the church. However, several of the Carney family were charter members of the church and many of the church's member's today are descendants of the original Carney family.
