It is 248 acres, and lies in a bend in the Harpeth River, north of Franklin, and below Cottonwood Estates. This property has NUMEROUS problems from wetlands to sink holes, sewage to traffic and significant Native American site/s. However Nick Fielder, Tennessee state archaeologist, has been quoted as saying 'since this is private land then no consideration of environmental issues is legally required'. April 29, 1999, From Redwolf I have just received word from Nick Fielder that Geoff King, the atty for Lumbermans, will be filing a Petition to Terminate a Gravesite on the Riverlanding property either tomorrow or early next week. This will be for one gravesite found on the hill, not the gravesites found down by the old barn. The important thing and to me the most discriminatory, is that the archaelogical report identified two other grave areas, one white and one African-American, and strongly recommended to Lumbermans that those sites be left alone and worked around. Yet, they cannot do the same for one, isolated prehistoric Indian grave!!!!!!!! It is blatantly discriminatory to acknowledge and work around two entire cemetaries of white and black people and file a petition to dig up ONE prehistoric grave. And you have seen this story before. They claim only one, then get in there and suddenly, there are MORE! SURPRISE, SURPRISE!!! This is the perfect time and place to get active. The Williamson County Planning Commission has already publicly declared it doesn't want trouble with the Indians. Well, by damn, give'em some trouble!! Political pressure properly applied could go a long way to stop this kind of open discriminatory policy. PLEASE SEND THIS ANNOUNCEMENT OUT. RAISE SOME HELL!! Joe "Redwolf" Please visit http://www.fortunecity.com/greenfield/porton/73/River/River.html and submit your opposition to this project. SEAL

Thank you Wanda! Here is my Ferris line that I am having a hard time with. I can't seem to find any information on them at all. I hope someone out there can help.

William Russell Faris, the son of William S. Farris and Rachel Baker is buried in Salem/Barker Cemetery, Highland Co, Ohio. His dates are 19 Feb 1862 - 12 March 1889.
