There is a new organization formed to preserve and restore the old City cemetery, where Ann Robertson Johnson Cockrill ( my 5 g gmo) is buried, along with her brother Gen. James Robertson, and others who came to what is now Tennessee on the Donalson Flotilla in the 1700's. The cemetery is in deplorable condition. The chain-link fence is toren down, the ornamental iron one around the Cockrill graves is all bent and smashed.Every time I go there, it is worse. The Nashville City Cemetery Association has just formed, to arrange for fence repairs, landscaping ( the view of the surrounding industrial area is pretty BAD), and for general upkeep and poublicity, education about the cemetery and people buried there, tours of it, poossibly a narration tape and book iin the future. They are asking descendants of the families buried there and other interested parties to join them, ..membership begins at $20/yr.
