It doesn't say where birth occurred. Assuming that this marker exists and is legitimate, it is the basis for all the later citing of this birth date and it opens the door to a discussion of Thomas LEE. WHAT IS YOUR SOURCE, HUGH? WHAT IS YOUR SOURCE'S SOURCE, HUGH? PERHAPS IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO PAY THE HAWKINS CO., TN GENEALOGICAL AND HISTORICAL SOCIETY (ASSUMING THERE IS ONE), TO GO TO THE GRAVEYARD AND PHOTOGRAPH THE TOMBSTONE OR MAKE A GRAVESTONE RUBBING, OR BOTH. JUST A THOUGHT, KAY G.
Hugh, Can you tell me the name of the cemetery and where in Hawkins Co. it is located? That might make a very interesting trip.
