BURIALS –
Information from the Pinkston family had indicated that DeLoach family member(s) were the interreds. Perhaps one or two graves – name(s) are unknown and supposedly infant(s)/stillborn(s).
Pettibone DeLoach (1891-1963) and his wife, Tempie Adams DeLoach (1886-1958) are buried at Onks Cemetery in Jonesborough along with a son, James R (1920-1922).
It is also possible that the interred were from the Adams branch of the family.
No other documentation has been found.
