Jacob Hoss Marker
From Washington County Tennessee Tombstone Inscriptions by Charles M. Bennett and the Watauga Association of Genealogists, Vol. I, with permission from Loraine B. Rae:
It is on land once belonging to Jacob Hoss, Revolutionary War veteran and one of the earliest settlers.
WCCL: There are ten graves, five marked and five unmarked. The stone of Jacob Hoss is presumed to be the one that is unreadable. There is no date on it, but the old brick house of Abraham Hoss, near the cemetery is dated 1822. Frances, consort of Abraham Hoss, died Nov. 29, 1849. A Hoss descendant said that Jacob Hoss and wife, Elizabeth Boon are buried in unmarked graves. [Mary Hardin McCown]
