Sources of Names Listed

The listing that follows is derived from the research and photographs taken by John B. Rochelle on 27 August 2002. We have used an alphabetical listing by last name. This is only a partial listing.

The cemetery includes several families that came out of the 3rd District of Johnson County, TN, including Potter, Jackson-Osborne, Arnold, Jones, Stewart and Greer, as well as other surnames including White, Cooper, and Hilliard. There are many graves that are marked only with rocks or old funeral home markers, but the cemetery has been recently mowed and appears to be receiving care.

Information in brackets [sample] was added by Basil McVey unless indicated otherwise. Most of that information was provided by John B. Rochelle.
