Slagle (Henry) Cemetery
2003<\/p><\/div>\n

Located below the intersection of Ridgecrest Road and Sinking Creek Road, adjacent to 900 Sinking Creek Road, Johnson City, Tennessee. on a wooded hill. Coming from Cherokee Rd. on Sinking Creek Rd., you cross Ridgecrest Rd. and the cemetery is just after the first house on the right. Trees, deadfall, and underbrush completely over grow this cemetery. Without knowing that a cemetery exists there, no one would ever see the cemetery without stopping and walking up a hill through woods and underbrush to the location. There are several unmarked graves, fieldstone markers, and a few legible markers. <\/span>Several people who have lived there since the 1920\u2019s, did not know the name of the cemetery, but knew it existed. The oldest marked graves (Webb and Ramsey) denote the people died in 1912. The latest was in 1983. There are at least eleven unmarked graves and at least 40 graves marked by fieldstones. A brick wall surround four unmarked graves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tennessee Death Records for persons in unmarked graves:<\/span>
\n Bass, Mollie Tucker, 30 Mar 1875-01 Jul 1951, TDR#345<\/span>
\n Ramsey, David Henry, 22 Apr 1876-19 May 1958, TDR#58-14306<\/span>
\n Tucker, Eliza Price, 87 yrs old, 14 Jun 1854-25 Nov 1941, TDR#480<\/span>
\n Webb, Theresa, 57 yrs. old, daughter of James Price and Mary Slagle<\/span><\/p>\n

** Jas. R. Price served first with the Confederate States America.\u00a0 Enlisted in Jonesborough on 27 Feb 1862 by Mark Bacon into Company F, 60th Regiment, TN Mounted Infantry.\u00a0 Captured at the Battle of Big Black River, near Vicksburg, MS while under the command General Vaughn (Vaughn’s Brigade) on 17 May 1863.\u00a0 Ended up at Point Lookout Prisoner of War Camp in Maryland. <\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nTook oath to the United States on 26 March 1864 and enlisted in the United States Army.\u00a0 Assigned to Company G, 1st US Volunteer Infantry.\u00a0 Muster out on 21 May 1866 at Fort Leavenworth, KS and returned back home to his first Mary Elizabeth Slagle. They were married on 15 October 1854 in Washington County and she died 1886.\u00a0 He then married Ida Key on 21 September 1888 in Washington County.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Although no marked tombstones prior to 1900 have been found, based upon Deed Book 80, Page 598 (noted below), the graveyard was clearly established before the property left the Slagle ownership.\u00a0 Several death certificates have been found with \u201cSlagle\u201d listed as the burial spot, and also matching markers were found.\u00a0 It has been clearly called \u201cSlagle\u201d after the surrounding property left Slagle ownership.\u00a0 It would appear that the ownership remains in the heirs of the Slagle family.<\/span>
\nThe burial ground has been referred to as \u201cSnell-Chrisenberry\u201d based upon some names on tombstones, and a few death certificates have turned up with \u201cTucker\u201d recorded in the burial location, substantiated by found markers.<\/span>
\nA very brief genealogy search reveals that most all of those buried there are related by blood or marriage to Henry Slagle.\u2028 <\/span>
\nDEEDS – \u00a0<\/span>
\nDeed Book 16, Page 220 (1804) \u2013 John Wiatt to Henry Slagle.\u00a0 The deed indicates 100 acres more or less, which might be questionable.\u00a0 The metes and bounds were plotted and a clear overlay of the current Washington County tax map was obtained.<\/span>
\nDeed Book 35, Page 431 (1856) \u2013 Henry Hoss, as Clerk & Master, to Charles A. Slagle \u2013 No metes and bounds were noted in this deed, however, during a later partition of the \u201cCharley Slagle Farm\u201d, it became clear that Charley had obtained the property from Henry.<\/span>
\nDeed Book 75, Page 207 \u2013 Deed Book 75, Page 208 \u2013 Deed Book 78, Page 28 \u2013 and Deed Book 77, Page 345 were all executed in either 1898 or 1899 and represent the partition of 53 remaining acres of Charley Slagle\u2019s land.\u00a0 Deed Book 75, Page 208 (to John Sanders) is the plot that contains the burial ground.\u00a0 The deed is silent about the graveyard.<\/span>
\nDeed Book 80, Page 598 (1901) \u2013 John Sanders to J.W. & Bessie Cardwell.\u00a0 This deed \u201cdeducts\u201d the graveyard.<\/span>
\nDeed Book 102, Page 52 (1909) \u2013 J.W. Cardwell subdivided and the plat shows the graveyard.<\/span>
\nDeed Book 428, Page 147 (1969) \u2013 J.W. Cardwell heirs, Leland and Maurice Cardwell, sell to Jasper & Gertrude Calloway.\u00a0 This deed contained new metes and bounds based upon a 1969 survey, and excepts the graveyard and a R.O.W. to it.<\/span>
\nDeed Book 435, Page 335 (1970) \u2013 Calloway to Parker \u2013 same parcel and same exception.<\/span>
\nRoll 497, Image 1162 (2006) \u2013 Parker to Kunisch \u2013 same parcel with same exceptions.\u00a0 Kunischs replatted and sold a small corner, however, the burial ground location was not impacted.\u00a0 Plat recorded at Plat Book 19, Page 405, also in 2006.<\/span><\/p>\n
