Thanks to you who answered by question about the Turner Graveyard. I was in the area several years ago and a cousin told me that the cemetery was about 2 miles from Ashland City. She called it the Turner Graveyard, or cemetery. My notes leave something to be desired, but it looks like my first information came from "Tombstone Records of Cheatham Co. Tenn - Haile." I may have found it in the Dickson Co library while there. It lists a "Turner Graveyard- Cheatham" It shows B.W. Turner 1851-1903; R.S. Turner 1847-1909; T.A. Turner 1840-1908, and Mary W. Turner d. 1934 80 years. And possibly more. Possibly it goes by another name. Or is very small. Thanks again, Jeanne
Well; excuse me Jeanne, I've got to quit trying to answer these things before my first cup of coffee in the morning. I went back to the WPA Bible and Tombstone Records of Cheatham County and there on page 122 I found the Turner Graveyard Cheatham County. It is located 2 miles from Ashland City, Tennessee. (there are no other directions that would indicate exactly where the location is from Ashland City) It states that "The Turner and Pardue Families are two of the oldest in Cheatham County and have been connected with the County Government in Cheathm County for a period of Seventy years or more. Copied by Mrs. Edna Hunter, Ashland City, Tennessee. February 17, 1937." There appears to be 13 people buried there. I can find none of them listed in the 1986 Tombstone Records by Dennis Dozier Haile Garrett and James Garrett. I do not personally know where this cemetery is located but perhaps if I list here all the names, someone will recognize it. T. A. Turner Mar 27 1840-Oct 20, 1908 R. S. Turner Apr 14, 1934 - Aug 9, 1909 Mary W. Turner Mar 8 1934 - aged 80 years B. W. Turner Feb 26, 1851-Dec 7, 1903 George Turner Feb 26, 1883 - July 4, 1919 Thomas B. Pardue Jan 30, 1843 - Nov 11, 1919 Angeline Pardue Sep 14, 1854-March 17, 1915 Charlie Walton 1866-1920 Isiac Baker Walton 1826-1907 Dr. Jas. Robert Walton May 9, 1862-Dec 12, 1906 Charles Grisby Walton Nov 17, 1897 - Sept 20 1910 Sarah E. Hudgens April 1, 1869 - June 1, 1929 Charles L. Teasley, Oct 3, 1879 - Jan 21, 1920 I have a photo of Mary Tennessee Turner daughter of Arthur Turner - it is her wedding photo - don't know the date but is early 1900s. Just got off the phone with 100 year old, as of 7 Jan 2000, Ms Vivian Hudgens, who feels certain that this is the cemetery atop Marks Creek Hill to the North of Ashland City (now about a half mile from the city limits) Maybe someone else will have some thoughts on this - I will try to go look this evening on my way to Ashland City for the Cheatham County Historical and Genealogical Association meeting at 7:00 P.M. at the Senior Citizens Center on Ruth Drive.
