Unnamed Cemetery on 4th Ave., Jonesborough, Tennessee
April 2005<\/p><\/div>\n

Also known as the James Madison Walker Cemetery.<\/span><\/p>\n

This cemetery is located beside the house at 571 4th<\/sup> Avenue, Jonesborough, TN. There are no markers but ten unmarked graves were located. The cemetery is set-aside in the deed. When the current owners moved there in the late 1950\u2019s, there was one military marker for a James Walker, CSA. Later the marker disappeared. This area of Jonesborough has been known as Beulah Land.<\/span><\/p>\n
