Notes:
On April 2, 1990, Elaine Cantrell and Martha Jones counted 41 tombstones. However, it is known that there are many more graves; the cemetery is filled with large fieldstones marking gravesites. Some of the tombstones are so old that the writing is almost impossible to read. Due to the age of the gravestones some dates, spellings and etc. may be slightly different from previous recordings.
In 1811 Jeremiah Reagan and his wife, Abigail, set aside the land for a church and graveyard. The church is no longer around. Reagan died that same year; it is believed his wife is buried beside him. In 1934 a marker for the Reagan graves was placed there by the John Sevier Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Reagan was born in 1735 in Pennsylvania.
One interesting tombstone – Rev. George Eakin. On this stone is written: Born in Tyrone Co., Ireland, May 23, 1782 Died in Abingdon, Va., in his 75th year. A Wesleyan Lay Preacher at 16 years of age. He was 58 years an active preacher. He received into the church during his 34 years an average of 385 members per year or 13,000 souls. His wife, Mary, and a son, George, also have tombstones beside his.
Another stone reads: Russell Bean; 1769-1829; Married Rosamond Robertson; Son of Wm. And Lydia Russell Bean; First white child born in Tenn.; Erected by descendants in 1974; Dedicated July 1976.
John Crampton Harris stone reads: “Here lie the Rev. and Dr. John Crampton Harris born Sept. 10, 1773 and died Sept. 9, 1842, the son of Benjamin Harris III and Jane Crampton; and his beloved wife, Sarah Anne Harrison Regan, born Oct. 19, 1781 and died 1878, the daughter of Jeremiah Reagan and Abigail Harrison. J. C. Harris was a direct descendant of Capt. Thomas Harris, a member of the original Virginia Company, who was the son of Sir William Harris of Crisxe, Essex, England. Abigail Harrison was the direct descendant of Isaiah Harrison who came to Oyster Bay, Long Island, from Ireland in 1687. This memorial is placed here with love, by their great, great, great grandsons: John Edward Helms III, Rev. William O’keefe Helms, and Dr. Crampton Harris Helms, Nov. 30, 1996. “
Edna H. Harris’ husband, Dr. A. N. Harris, is buried in Kingston, Georgia. (Born in Jonesborough June 15, 1815 and died in GA November 6, 1868). Although there are no stones, it is known that five children of Edna & A. N. Harris are buried in Uriel next to their mother’s grave. They are:
Alexander Nelson Harris July 18, 1853 – Apr. 18, 1888
Rhoda Emma Harris Feb. 4, 1885 –
David Haynes Harris Feb. 8, 1857 – Nov. 28, 1881
Sallie Angelina Broyles June 2, 1847 – June 24, 1877
Matthew Napoleon Harris Sept. 22, 1862 – March 15, 1891
[Two other children: Joseph Allison Harris & Mollie Lavinia Miller have markers & are listed in this record.]
There is no marker other than a fieldstone, but it is known that Juliet M. Harris’ mother, Frances McCrary, is buried next to her grave.
