On http://ogskent.on.ca/publications.htm that cemetery is listed as Abandoned Negro and on the old web site it shows:
Con 8 Lot 3 Chatham Township (not Gore)
4 pgs
ISBN 1-55075-649-4
If you need a map of Kent County, you could try the old county atlas maps at http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/CountyAtlas/Kent.htm and http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/CountyAtlas/showtownship2.php?townshipid=Chatham
Perhaps chairperson Wilson will provide you with more information.

The cemetery is located on Con. 9, Chatham Twp. now Countryview line. It is half way between Chatham And Wallaceburg at Countryview Golf Course. It is 1/4 mile east of Hwy 40, just east of the golf course on the south side of the road.I trust this helps.
Wilson Kerr, Branch Chair.
