Brenda, The History of Fentress County book, published 1986, page 208, says: "Ann Albertson Wood Cemetery. One and one-half miles west of old post office on Ann Wood farm. Albertsons and Hogues buried here." On pages 203-207 there are maps showing the locations of cemeteries, some named and some not. But on page 205, the map shows two cemeteries on Boatland Road between SR 52 and Bill's Creek. My guess is that it is the one closer to Bill's Creek. Wheeler's Cemetery book, page 400 says: "Ann albertson Wood Cemetery. Located in the south section of the Riverton quadrangle in the Boatland Community, on the west side of the road between West Fentress and Bill's Creek." On page 401, "Ann Albertson Wood, Nov 13, 1855 to April 25, 1952. (wife of Adam M.). Wood, Adam Mathew, Sept 19, 1855 to April 10, 1879." Hogue's History of Fentress County, published in 1916, has a map of farms in the western end of Fentress County. Across Boatland Road from the Jeremiah Beatty farm is the J. (Jerry)Woods farm, and behind (and slightly south) of the J. Woods farm is the A. Woods farm. It looks like a road at one time went through this farm and west to the Manson Community. I've been told that there used to be a road from Boatland to Manson. Hogue says (page156) that Jerry Wood was a farmer and merchant in Boatland, and that he was postmaster for many years. Jerry Wood and his wife Jane Harmon are both buried in this cemetery. There have been at least 10 people buried int he Ann Albertson Wood Cemetery since WW II, the last person listed in the Cemetery book (published, 1988) was Orpha R. Clark Kington, in 1986. Hope this doesn't add to your confusion. Did you want those images (maps)?

Brenda, Ann Wood Cemetery is located at the end of Mill Creek Lane near Boatland. Once you take Mill Creek lane, the site can be reached by bearing left across a bridge at the house with the U.S. and Confederate flags. There is a cannon in the corner of that yard. Go about 50 yards to the two houses across from each other. Ruth Clark lives in the house on the left. You have to tell her that you want to go through her farm gate. Beside the gate is a junked John Deere tractor. Go about 50 yards up the gravel road to a log barn. The cemetery is beside the barn. The cemetery has been mown and is very neat. The coordinates of the cemetery are 36º 24'06" North and 85º 03'02" West. Gary D.
