Logo designed for Johnson County by Pamela R. Cresswell
I would like to thank James C. Donnelly for giving his permission to post this list of people buried in the Rheatown Cemetery in Rheatown, Greene Co., TN. Jim's grandparents, Robert H.M. Donnelly and Eliza J. Allen were from Johnson Co., TN and moved to Rheatown after the Civil War. Robert H.M. Donnelly was a Major in the 13th Tennessee Cavalry (USA) and for many years was Postmaster for Chucky City, Green Co., TN. Jim originally sent this list to the Johnson Co., TN mail list in hopes it would be helpful to others and again I thank him.
The listing came from a book on the history of Rheatown, TN 1771-1977, sponsored by The United Methodist Women of Rheatown United Methodist Church in 1977. It was revised and reprinted by Over Mountain Press in 1986. In addition, Jim Donnelly has been to the cemetery and made corrections and updates to his family. Just a reminder that most of the markers were on Limestone and some are badly eroded and can not be read.
See also the Roster of men who served in the 4th Tennessee Infantry, USA. Many who served in this Regiment were from Greene County.
Names with ** in front indicate Johnson County, Tennessee families. If you know of others, please write to Basil McVey and I will include a ** next to their names as well.
