Alberson Cemetery analysis

Contributed by: Jan Monnin

03 October 2008

Alberson Cemetery is located in the Hurricane Creek section of the Buffalo River Watershed, East Side. This cemetery is located on a hill above the intersection of Hurricane Creek Road and Old Penny Road. There are 18 or so fieldstone marked graves, five of which are Alberson children, and perhaps another four to six unmarked graves.

There are a couple known transcriptions of this cemetery:

David Donahue recorded this cemetery on 20 October 2001;
David Donahue checked and updated it in September 2004;
(both of these transcriptions were recorded on the TnGenWeb site currently at: http://www.tngenweb.org/records/cemeteries/index.php?function=county&s_county=perry
This cemetery’s transcription was also published in the Bowen Cemetery book, which is also online at http://www.tngenweb.org/records/perry/cemeteries/bowen2.txt

In the list below, I’ve started with what is recorded on the new searchable TnGenWeb site, compared it to the other transcriptions and made a note of any differences.
