Meadow Lark Subdivision
Former Lairmer Farm<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201c3 mi NW Jonesboro on the Bridge Larimer farm.\u00a0 Established during the Civil War.\u00a0 William Cox is the only person buried there.\u00a0 Confederate soldiers brought William Cox from Greene County and killed him and buried him in the woods.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Some maps have shown this burial ground near Tara Ct., off Carroll Creek Rd., in Johnson City.\u00a0 The Larimer farm in that area was not the Elbridge M. Larimer farm, but rather the Victor Larimer farm.\u00a0\u00a0 Victor\u2019s father, James, was a first cousin of Elbridge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elbridge \u201cBridge\u201d M. Larimer settled in what is now the Hairetown Road area, near Stuart\u2019s Hill, Jonesborough.\u00a0 Two deeds conveyed approximately 27 acres total to him – being DB124\/16 and DB183\/331.\u00a0 Today, the Meadowlark Subdivision is in those acres.\u00a0 This location would coincide with the WCCL location NW of Jonesborough.\u00a0 Also, the Old Stage\/Hairetown Road would have been an important thoroughfare from Greene County during the Civil War.<\/span><\/p>\n

Utilizing an old topographic map, it is believed that the Larimer homeplace was between what is now 240 and 254 Hairetown Road, on a now vacant lot, and was fairly close to the road.\u00a0 The surrounding area has a lot of woods, plus with a new subdivision cut in, and the fact that no marker was ever found before, it would be impossible to know exactly where the grave might be located.<\/span><\/p>\n
