From volume 2, page 90 – entry 29
“These two graves were found in a pine thicket in the gap of the ridge where the waters of Bacon’s Branch of Little Limestone Creek divide from the waters of Booth’s Branch of Cherokee Creek. They were about one hundred yards from the road crossing the gap, and on the South side of the road. There were signs of other graves, however, only two were found with legible markers. Copied by Charles M. Bennett, Jan 14, 1960.”
LOCATION – This location would be on Washington County tax parcel 075-043.00 and has been cleared in recent years. A nearby neighbor provided a clear description, having grown up there and remembered seeing the large marker and a few others many years ago. This individual also noted that the markers were removed many years ago by unknown persons, and that the current property owner was not responsible for the moving of the markers.
