    3. Hi -- the very mention of a Cannon or DeKalb County cemetery excites me! If anyone hears of a clean=up of Overall Cemetery in Cannon County, please let me know. It is small and overrun with various growths, and I imagine snakes also! My William Gleason BRYANT (b. 1815, d. 1884, DeKalb Co) and his wife, Nancy ADAMSON (b. 1809, d. 1886, p. Joseph L. ADAMSON & Anna BLACKLEY) are buried there, as well as lots of other related names. The best I remember it is not too far south of Liberty but in Cannon County and right on the road, except is up a little hill and lots of trees, not visible from the road. (better give more info in case anyone is also looking for Briant/Bryans/Bryant: Wm. Gleason BRYANT's parents were James T. BRIANT and Rachel A. ALDERSON, m. 1815 in Botetourt Co, VA. One generation back, his father was James BRYANT, mother was Martha. I also have Alderson information) There was the nicest man living in a big house on down the road who took my daughter and me to the cemetery after we stopped and asked for help. It was lunchtime, and they were cooking and it smelled SO GOOD. I just cannot remember his name! Jess, if anyone is interested in this cemetery, can you give them more explicit directions? Wish I was in Tennessee!!!!!!! Love, cousin Mary in OK WILLIAMS, BRYANT/BRIANT, ALDERSON, WINFREY, DODD, TURPIN, ADAMSON. All VA & TN

    3. Mary, I don't think this cemetery is in Cannon Co. Possibly was, many years ago, but today it must be in DeKalb Co. I didn't find a burial listing for your Bryant family, in Cannon Co. I don't find a topo listing for an "Overall" Cemetery, in either Dekalb or Cannon..... http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnisprod then select cemetery in "feature type" and county=Dekalb (or Cannon) also, try selecting church as a "feature type". Sometimes gives you additional cemetery choices. Bear in mind, that many smaller, lesser known cemeteries do not make it on the TOPO maps. Jess
