Old Tombstone Photos
Weakley County, Tennessee
Location of gravestone: Winston Cemetery on McKelvey
Rd., Greenfield, Weakley Co., TN.
This is a modern replacement stone for Benjamin Thomas Leroy Clanton WINSTON, born 25 Dec. 1838 in North Carolina, and died 1875 in Greenfield, Weakley Co, Tn. He married Nancy A. Mary ROSE 5 Feb 1870. 3 children: Isador Manora WINSTON, Imaugene WINSTON, and Benjamin Almus WINSTON. Kindred Mason WINSTON, who was the son of Benjamin Almus WINSTON and wife Nancy Effie STROUP, replaced his grandfather's grave stone with a modern upright stone. This upright sturdy stone is the only way to find the other knocked over tombstones in that old farm cemetery. Other old stones are knocked over on ground and covered with periwinkle vines. Only "feet" of stones stick up. Submitted by Helen Craig |
