Located on the west side of County Road 336 about half way between County Road 345 and State Road 24, the Rocky Hammock Cemetery is due south of Chiefland, Florida.  It is across the street from the Concord Baptist Church

File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Gary Peltier, (peltier213@aol.com).

Concord Baptist Church does not own or maintain the cemetery.  Samuel Worthington originally deeded the land for the cemetery and the cemetery has been privately maintained ever since.  An attractive sign was placed on the property in 2000.  Originally, many graves with mounds of shells covered some of the earliest graves.  Some one leveled these old graves within the past few years and most of the old shell mounds have been removed. 
Nearly twenty-five small markers with the inscription "Unknown" are located in the cemetery, mostly at the north end.

The book "Cemeteries of Levy County" written by Lindon J. Lindsey and published in 1994 is a wonderful resource for anyone doing genealogical research in Levy County.  The description for the Rocky Hammock Cemetery, however, is incomplete and contains several typographical errors.  Gary and Melissa Peltier of Blue Springs, Missouri Springs did this transcription in January 2002.  Melissa is the great, great granddaughter of M. A. Beck.
