I find the listing for the Holloway-Caldwell cemetery now, and the names look far more promising.The oldest burial is Lavinia KEFFER (1820-1894), whose family lived two doors from Harper CALDWELL in the Census of 1850. You should be able to triangulate the three CSA graves (Thomas, Hugh and Edward) to get more precise dates on this group.It would probably be a good idea to reconstruct all of the families, in order to trace their interconnections.
I still can't find an exact location, since there are no place names on the USGS 1:25000 map of this valley.However, there's only one ==place== that might correspond to "Camp Tuck Away," namely a collection of buildings about half way up the valley, just west of Big Ford Hollow.There's an unnamed cemetery up the hill on the North (right?) side of the highway that may be Holloway-Caldwell.
I will send you a gedcom file with further information on the TAYLOR family, including field notes and sources.
