    1. Re: [TNDAVIDS] family cemetery in Hermitage
    2. Jackie Wood
    3. Hi Lori I spoke with a neighbor of mine yesterday. She remembers the cemetery that was near the railroad tracks where Lowe's is now located. She remembers finding it along with a another girl when they were kids but she does not remember the names on the tombstones. She said they were very old. It is not the Creel cemetery that has been talked about on this list. I know where it is. It is located in a triangle between Andrew Jackson Parkway and Dodson Chapel Rd or Chandler Rd. The Dodson family could have own the land where Lowe's is located. Who are you looking for?

I am looking for information on a cemetery in Hermitage that is no longer in existence. It was a small family cemetery that was located in the where the Lowes is now on Old Hickory Blvd. There were at least 2 stones still standing in 1979. Some of the family names in this area were Gleaves, Creel, and Peek. The cemetery was visible from the intersection of Cortez Ct and Juarez Dr. It was in the middle of a field and most easily accessed from the railroad tracks. Evidently, vandalism and/or time eroded the stones. When construction began on the Lowes store, there was no visible evidence of a cemetery. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any ideas would be appreciated!!

    2. LORI i spoke to my brother today and he mentioned that my father use to talk about a cemetery in "the bottoms". That apparently is an area by a railroad track, it is an old field area and actually is the land my grandfather owned and my father was born on. It is apparently just a short distance from the present Creel Cemetery..I'm not very familiar with the area any more so I may be confusing you more, I apologize if I am. He is going to look over the area he is thinking of in a few weeks when he goes to work on the present cemetery. Years ago there were more reported graves there. When the property was sold after my uncle and fathers death there were a couple businesses constructed on the property. Many of the graves were marked with field stones, not true markers and no real register was found to the best of my memory. My aunt fenced in the area that now exists. I will let you know if he finds anything more. Jackie

    2. Thanks for the response Jackie! I am familiar with the Creel cemetery. The cemetery I am trying to get information on would have been located a short distance south of the Creel cemetery. I have no idea who was buried there....I am just grasping at straws at this point.

    3. To: Kathleen Hill, whose email addy was missing from this message: I don't know who William 'Henry' WRIGHT's parents were. This information that you sent me is a Great Possibility, since Henry named his oldest daughter Emma. I failed to find this particular family on the 1870 census on Ancestry.com - THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Apparently, there were -2- children, William WRIGHT, age 3 and Anna WRIGHT, age 5, living in Davidson County, TN - two different sets of parents! It is a shame that neither one of the census enumerators didn't include the middle name/initial of William (the son) on the page. It would have helped greatly. However, I am back to the same quandry. William and Emma WRIGHT do not appear on the 1880 census. I don't recall if I said so before - but I DO have Henry WRIGHT's death certificate. His wife died in 1922 and in his last few years of life, he lived with his youngest daughter in OK, who provided the information for his death certificate. 'Name of father' appears as 'Unknown'.

Give more information on William "Henry" Wright. When was he born? When did he die. Have you checked for a death certificate?

Can you give a little more info on William "Henry", when he was born, when he died, who he married, etc? He could be in my Wright database but I would have to know more about him to find him. Debie
