I have no direct connection to this family but have photographed cemeteries in this particular area. According to a 1938 WPA reading of the family burial ground, there were 16 marked graves and approx. 38 unmarked. Also the yr. 2000 R.C.H.S. Vol. III of Roane County cemeteries lists the Pem Lowe Cemetery, pp.171-173, located near Charles Fork Dam and on the Walter Jordan farm. There are several Burke's buried there and that is perhaps why you found it listed as Burke Cem.
Sometime when I'm in Roane Co., I'll see if I can find and photograph it for you
