I have been looking for the grave site of my great grand parents: Joseph Rogers Jr. and his wife Mary E.(Mollie)Rogers. I know they were buried in the Old Blountville Cemetery because many years(40)ago I visited the cemetery and actually saw the graves. At that time one of the markers was broken, but nearby-the other one was still on the grave. Both markers have since disappeared and the graves are not identifiable. I was just wondering if anyone has access to the official records for interments in this cemetery and whether they might indicate the location of these graves. I would greatly appreciate any information you may have in this regard. Thanks, Dave Gemmell
They are found….. rest in peace.
My parents and grandfather is buried in the cemetery but there is brush growing on the graves. I was wondering who I needed to speak with someone about getting it cleaned up. My email address is barbara.ann.smith625@gmail.com

Hello.
Would it be possible to tell me if there are any people named Gamble buried in your cemetery? Late 1700s especially. Looking for my grandmother’s parents. Her name was Magdalene Gamble (she is buried in Kentucky.)
Do you know if there are any Revolutionary War veterans specifically designated there?
Also, I recently watched a video of the cemetery made by a young man and a woman. His name is Brandon. Hello to Brandon. Nice job.
P.S. How old is the cemetery?
