DENSON'S LANDING CEMETERY
Denson's Landing Cemetery, November 1999
This cemetery is on the north side of embayment of Kentucky Lake into the lower reaches of Toms Creek, west of Pineview. The cemetery is well maintained. It is difficult to estimate the number of unmarked graves but the number could be considerable.
David Donahue recorded Denson's Landing Cemetery November 26, 1999 and updated in August 29, 2004. Mary (Stewart) Bowen and Melissa (Snyder) Bowen recorded the cemetery in the early 1990s. Their record appears in Mary Bowen's Perry County, Tennessee Cemetery Records (Vol. I). This earlier record is referred to as Bowen in the notes below.
