Freida, Yes, that is the correct info. on the Cannon Cemetery Book. I have a few copies left. Kevin, Does your info have a burial place for Baxter B. Dickens? Some time after his wife Nancy Holt / Holten died, in 1856, he moved to Coffee Co. along with the Peter Thomas Family. Nancy is buried in the Hopewell Cemetery, near Bradyville. Baxter, his family, including his daughter Martha Emerline Inglis (and her two children) are living in the southeastern part of Coffee Co., in the 1860 census. One of his sons is buried in the Stephenson Cemetery, nearby. Even though Stephenson was a long hard trip from Bradyville, I believe when he died in the mid 1860s, that he was returned to Bradyville (Hopewell) for burial. His daughter Martha E. (later married to T.E. Prater) was later buried at Hopewell, as was at least one of his grandsons. I have never found a marked burial for Baxter, in Cannon or Coffee, but Hopewell Cemetery is rough, scattered and overgrown. Possibly the stone was destroyed. This area was occupied 1st by Confederate then later Union troops during that time, so travel would have been somewhat risky. The mountains, a few miles to the east of Stephenson was the hideout for Bushwhackers, who preyed on citizens and soldiers alike. Raids and killings were common. It is possible that he moved back to Cannon Co., during the later part of the war, after that area settled down a bit. An 1864 field map of the Union Army, shows the home of "Esq. Dickens", near Bradyville, at about where Hopewell was located. Jess Lewis

Jess, I'll send a check out Monday, I would like a copy of the book.. I plan to retire next year and hope to get back to TN soon after. I want to visit Cannon County, see the places many of my paternal roots sprang from and Sullivan County for the maternal side. Have enjoyed all the postings, thank you for the dedication to this site.

Jess, I did not find anymore on him. I will see if I can find an address or phone number of the woman who posted this info on B.B. Dickins. Kevin

Kevin: Do you show a cemetery listing for Maxwell Caruthers? Thanks. Betty G.
