    1. [ALBLOUNT] Blackwood Cemetery/William Blackwood Query
    2. Anyone by chance have any info on the undated grave of William Blackwood in the Blackwood Cemetery of Blount Co.? I believe it is marked only with the first name of William—no other identifying info. I suspect that this might be the grave of my 2nd great grandfather, William Blackwood, who presumably died in Walker Co. about 1861/1862 at the outset of the war. My family believes, at the present time, that our William is a mostly forgotten son of Isaac and Mary Jones. He was married to Tabitha Cornelius in Blount Co. around 1840. His entire family relocated to Wright Co., MO about 1862, after his presumed death, and seems to have lost contact with their AL kin over the years, eventually being forgotten about by most of the rest of the family. I believe that the Blackwood Cemetery of Walker Co. did not get started until later, so my guess is that even though William died in Walker Co., his interment was in the family plot back in Blount Co. Any info/thoughts appreciated.
