Ross Cemetery

I went to Jefferson Davis County yesterday (from Jackson) in search of Ross Cemetery to take some pictures somebody on findagrave.com had requested. But I failed to find either the Ross Cemetery where Josiah Aldridge Jackson and Susannah A. Gandy Jackson are said to be buried or the other Ross Cemetery shown on GoogleEarth as being nearby.

The Ross Cemetery where they are supposedly buried is (according to online maps) on the west side of Zion Hill Church Road not far south of Smith Drive. The other Ross Cemetery is on the east side of Mobley Road, not very far north of where Mobley Road becomes Daughdrill Road.

It was frustrating that I could not find either cemetery! (The reason I was looking for both of them was that it struck me as quite possible that the person who had requested the pictures might have the two cemeteries mixed up, given that they have the same name and are so close together.)

Do any of you know either or both of these cemeteries? Are they findable, or have they sunk into the ground or been totally covered by thickets? Any help will be greatly appreciated, both by me and by the person in Virginia who asked for the pictures.
