Chastain Family Cemetery

     This old family cemetery is located on the Chastain family farm, on Shellsford Road, east of McMinnville. Since the 1820s, this farm has passed down through generations of Chastains. This cemetery is typical of early private burial grounds throughout Tennessee. Unfortunately, not all of this type of cemetery have been so well maintained. Many have simply disappeared.

Note:
Gravemarker readings for the Chastain Family Cemetery may be found in: Warren County, Tennessee Cemetery Book 1. by Mrs. Almetia Cunningham and Mrs. Martha Holt, compiled and edited by Mrs. Betty M. Majors, 1993
