AM, First of all, there are 2 Pisgah cemeteries listed in the Bedford Co. Cemetery book - one is between Flat Creek and Raus (south of Shelbyville), the other one is west of Shelbyville, out Hwy. 64, a little northeast of the Wheel community. The Coleman cemetery is closer to this second one. The Coleman cemetery is on Comstock Rd., off of Hwy. 64. I looked in the cemetery book printed in 1975; there are no Colemans listed in the Coleman cemetery (a bone of contention with some who wish to change the name of the cemetery even though JMH Coleman gave the land for the cemetery!!!!) however, several members of JMH Coleman's family are there (married daughters/grandchildren, etc.). The cemetery is in good condition now, but it suffered neglect for many years; many gravesites are no longer marked, with several sites in one corner, reportedly the slave section. This isn't the answer you wanted. Sorry.

There is a cemetery on Midland-Deason Road (Longview/Unionville area) named Pisgah Cemetery. It is maybe 1/2 half mile down the road from Pressgrove Cemetery. There is probably not 15-2- graves there. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Best [mailto:tombest@edge.net] Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 22:37 To: TNBEDFOR-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TNBEDFOR] Location of Cemetery AM, First of all, there are 2 Pisgah cemeteries listed in the Bedford Co.
