Washington County Cemetery Check List<\/em>: Established after the Civil War by Samuel D. Bayless.<\/span><\/p>\n

From History of Washington County Tennessee 1988<\/em> by Watauga Association of Genealogists, p.232, with permission from Loraine Bennett Rae:<\/span><\/p>\n

Daniel, son of John and Ann Price Bayless, received a land grant from the State of North Carolina, October 19, 1797. This land is the Bayless property in the present day Carter Sell Area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Daniel built a six-room log house, which presently faces Chatham Avenue. It is still occupied as a residence. An addition was built on the back part of the house, which originally was the front, facing west. This house and farm later became the property of Richard, son of Daniel and Martha Eaton Bayless. Richard married Susannah Geisler, and had three children: John Washington, Samuel D., and Martha A. Susannah taught her children the Dutch language from infancy, as well as the English language.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the death of Susannah, the home went to Samuel D. Bayless, grandson of the builder. Samuel married Arrena Overfelt. They had six children, one of whom was named Eddie Byrd, born 23 October 1872.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eddie Byrd married June 11, 1905, Fannie E. Carr. The old Carr home place is nearby on the Old Jonesborough. They lived on Eddie\u2019s father\u2019s farm. They had three children: Eva Pearl, Walter Henry and Nellie Evelyn. Nellie Evelyn married Cecil Oliver Drayne. Eva Pearl married Luney Edward Drain. Their children: Ruby, Luney Frank and Judith.<\/span><\/p>\n
