Information used with the permission of Lorraine Bennett Rae.

Belle Lyle Tilden copied the cemetery on February 26, 1957. The following tombstones were not found June 28, 2001:

Mrs. Emma Cox, d. 1947, aged 88 years [TN Death Certificate 4045: born 2 Aug 1858 VA, died 26 Feb 1947, pts: George and Martha Roberts; widow of James Cox.

E.W.F., 1826-1899

May 24, 1977, Robert D. Hylton found the cemetery so overgrown with poison ivy, honeysuckle, rose bushes and shrubs that a major cleaning would have to be done before all of the plot could be covered. He did not find any more tombstones that are not listed here.
