Springtown Cemetery on old Coweta Road

Could anyone please tell me where this cemetery is exactly? I've driven up and down old Coweta Road, and have looked in the area "about 4 1/2 miles from Highway 412" going south... I do not know WHICH SIDE of the road it is on. Topo maps don't reveal an exact location. Several homes near there have only big dogs to come out and greet me, and I am loathe to approach a home to ask directions when it doesn't appear anyone (but the dogs) are home.

This link below is to the burial list and a general location as transcribed by James A. Hoffman. I've tried emailing him, but the address listed at the site is no longer good, and my email is returned.

There are fields with a lot of brush which may be hiding the cemetery but before I wade through the thick weeds covered in DEET with my trusty machete, I would like to narrow down WHICH swamp I should begin my trek.

I hope to photograph/preserve the grave markers. Plus I am researching CHILDERS in Indian Territory. This cemetery has several CHILDERS...

Thanks for any leads!

Sandy
