If you have a copy of our "Tombstone Records of Cannon Co.", please make the following corrections....... 1. Calvin P. Duke (1853-1935) was married to Nursie BASHAM on 2/20/1898 He was previously married to Sallie Simmons on 12/25/1881 2. Nursie (Narcissa) Duke (1876-1972) was married to Calvin (as above). Her parents were T.G. Basham and Margaret Gaither. Note of interest. Margaret (Gaither) Basham was apparently sick and died on 6/1/1880, after the census was taken. Nursie (Narcissa) and 2 other siblings were already living with grandparents, Arthur and Narcissa Gaither. Margaret Basham is buried in the Gaither Cemetery. You might also add her parents to her record in the same book. Jess Lewis

It is definitely one you need someone to show you the way. The site is in really bad shape, most of the field stones that were there have been beaten down by the cattle that ran on the property for years. There are still some that are visible, and you can still see where many of the plots are as they are pretty sunken in. As for the old homestead itself, I'm told that it fell in and that what was left was cleared away. There is a spring house near the site, but I'm told it's not the original. This was a very disappointing trip, I'm sorry to say. If anyone is interested a pic of the cemetery let me know. Also the whole site should be online within a week.

Jess, No not really, only two that actually were headstones, and they were REALLY worn down bad. I'll send them to your personal email. Bobby

The Rutherford Co. Overall Cemetery, mentioned earlier today, and the Cannon / Dekalb Overall Cemetery are not the same. There is a 3rd "Overall" cemetery, back in a field, between Lascassas and Milton, in Rutherford Co. It is commonly called the "Patterson" Cemetery, but originally it was started as a family cemetery for the Robert Overall Family, who owned the plantation surrounding it. Robert's wife Mary, died in 1838 and has the oldest T'Stone in the cemetery. After Robert died in the 1860s, the plantation was divided up. The Patterson family eventually ended up with parts of the original estate and their family is buried there, also. The old log plantation house, built by Robert around 1815, finally collapsed a few years ago, either burned or the remains burned. I have a jpg of the house, if anyone is interested. An interesting family and my ancestors. Robert was a friend of Andrew Jackson and fought with him in various Indian Wars and I think he was with Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans. His parents were at Ft. Nashboro (later Nashville). They trace their ancestry back to England, where one of the family members helped translate the King James Version of the Bible. Jess Lewis

If so, send a message to the Rutherford List. Someone there will know.

I don't know whether I posted this on the list, but in the 1830 Warren co census, Anderson West and James West were enumerated near each other. Matching DNA from descendents of Anderson and James WEST tell us they are related. We do not know how they are related. Dennis West ---------------------------- Anderson West and Martha are my ggg-grandparents. I would be interested in any information about them also.
