Crawford Cemetery
This cemetery is behind the church at 7659 Lone Star Road in the Blair’s Gap area of Sullivan County. A church member indicated that some call this the Crawford Cemetery. The cemetery contains only a few marked graves and nearly 50 graves marked with only fieldstones. It was impossible to get an accurate count. It was mowed and well- cared for.

I am trying to find my grandfather. William Elbert Newcomb b: 1845 passed sometime after 1920. He is suppose to be buried in Johnson Cemetery, Sullivan County, Tn. I have been to Tn. twice and cannot find a trace of his death.
I thought maybe you had information on Johnson Cemetery.
Thank You

Annie Crawford, 20 Mar 1820 – 20 Sep 1898, is actually Ann Dalton Crawford, one of my great great grandmothers. I would like to see a photograph of her grave marker, because I have the year of her death as 1893 vice 1898.
Ann Crawford, a daughter of John and Ann Dalton Crawford, was my great grandmother and the wife of Emanuel Crawford. Both are believed to be interred at the Bowser Cemetery.
Ann Crawford, 4 Aug 1830 – 2 Mar 1901, was the daughter of John and Martha Annie Walker Crawford. It is believed she was first married to William Matison Bowser, and they had a son, William Edward Bowser. That would make Isaac Libby Clark her 2nd husband.

To correct my initial email, I have confirmed that your data on Ann Dalton Crawford is correct.
Based upon his age in the 1850 census, John C. Crawford was born ca 1843. The record for his headstone reflects his death on 11 Oct 1882.
Based upon his age in the 1850 census, Lewis Crawford was born ca 1847. The record for his headstone reflects his death on 9 Oct 1882.
