TVA Cemetery #4 \u2013 Boone Lake Project \u2013 Washington County, TN<\/span><\/p>\n

Washington County, Tennessee Tombstone Inscriptions<\/em> by Charles M. Bennett and the Watauga Association of Genealogists. Information used with the permission of Lorraine Bennett Rae.<\/span><\/p>\n

From volume 3, page 90 \u2013 entry 77<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLocated on the left bank of the Watauga River.\u00a0 Flooded by Boone Lake.\u00a0 TVA records indicate that there were 94 graves; 47 were removed.\u00a0 Of the remaining 47 unknown graves, 28 were infants\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Those that were reinterred were moved between 30 June 1952 and 11 July 1952. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While reviewing the TVA records and foreman notes, a newspaper clipping was found \u2013 6 May 1952, Press-Chronicle \u2013 Tommy Hall was killed by a self-inflicted shotgun blast thought to be accidental.\u00a0 His widow, Kate, was left to raise several young children. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tommy Martin and Alma Kate Hall are buried at Gray Community Cemetery.\u00a0 Tommy was the son of Samuel Hall and the grandson of James Nathaniel Hall.<\/span><\/p>\n

LOCATION<\/strong>:\u00a0 Located at Hall\u2019s Ford (Oak Grove) Gray, Washington County, TN.\u00a0 Under the surface of the water, slightly northwest of 170 Kate Street, Washington County tax parcel 006JA012.00 \u2013 at the northwest corner of the parcel.\u00a0 Elevation approximately 1305 feet.\u00a0 TVA records available to the public were also found to supplement and confirm deed research.\u00a0 This burial ground was at the northeast corner of the parcel owned by Thomas Martin \u201cTommy\u201d Hall.<\/span><\/p>\n

GPS Location:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 +36\u00b0 26.220, -82\u00b0 24.790<\/span><\/p>\n

DEEDS<\/strong> \u2013 Several deeds were reviewed to aid in determining the location of this burial ground.\u00a0 There are two documents that specifically address the burial ground and are releases by the heirs of the burial ground proper.\u00a0 Deed Book 266, Page 380 and Minutes Book 20, Page 69 (1952) involved several individuals whose names will not be listed here.\u00a0 The burial ground was approximately 210\u2019 X 240\u2019. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Two other documents specifically were used to locate the burial ground.\u00a0 Deed Book 258, Page 343 (1951) and Minutes Book 18, Page 519 (1952) were parcels on either side of the burial ground and contained calls of the burial ground boundaries.\u00a0 Plotting of those two parcels were clearly overlayed on the current tax map.\u00a0 A handful of other deeds were checked as additional verification and will not be listed, as no material differences were found.\u00a0 The Cemetery Survey Team files contain the reference material. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BURIALS<\/strong> \u2013 These named individuals were noted as moved to other burial grounds.\u00a0 (copied from the Bennett list and matches the TVA public listing).\u00a0 No public TVA records have been located regarding the names of those left.\u00a0 Dates clarified by viewing the markers that were moved, where found.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

Note:\u00a0 (*) TVA records indicate that one Walter E. Hall, shown as great grandson, authorized removal of these two bodies.\u00a0 He also authorized the removal of his grandparents, James N. Hall (1821-1886) and Elizabeth Snyder Hall (1818-1883).\u00a0 This would provide that the two unknowns were the parents of said James N. Hall.\u00a0 Unconfirmed online references name these two as James N. Hall (1776-1830) and Susan Elizabeth Biddle (1783-1831).\u00a0 The markers found at Edgefield are named with \u201cJames\u201d and \u201cElizabeth\u201d.\u00a0 Washington County marriages \u2013 James Hall to Elizabeth Biddle 13 Nov 1800.\u00a0 It is unknown who placed those newer, named flat granite markers that have only names.<\/span><\/p>\n
