    1. Re: [TNHAWKIN] Morrison Cemetery
    2. Hi Angel, I can't help you much on the Morrison Cemetery, but we gotta be cousins of some sort -- particularly through the Bernard line. But first, the Morrison Cemetery -- I have Volume 3 of Hawkins County Tennessee Cemeteries, which on page 224, gives a very brief listing of the Morrison Cemetery "On Beech Creek Road, about 1/4 mile before Mt. Carmel Free Will Baptist Church over in the field on the right." The only specific listings are for "Morrison, Martha, born May 1, 1834, died May 9, 1884" followed by the comments "Twenty unmarked graves", "Condition of Cemetery - Poor", and "Compiled March 17, 1987". That's it !! Sorry 'bout that. There are, however, lots more Morrisons in the Vol. 3 Cemeteries book. Maybe if you could narrow down your interests a bit, I'll see if I can find something on your folks. Now for our possible Hawkins County connections. I have indirect "connections" to the Morelock, Morrison, Crawford and Light lines, but I am directly descended from the Beech Creek Bernards. My great-grandmother, wife of Wiley Mitchell Hale, is Sarah Jane Bernard, and my 2nd great-grandmother, wife of Kindred Hale, Wiley's father, is Louisa Bernard. Louisa and Sarah Jane are sorta "half-cousins". They are in different generations, descending from a common Bernard ancestor, but from different wives. Will have to get back to my database to refresh my memory on this one. :>)) FYI, I'm also a direct descendent from the Hawkins County Ball line as well as the Beech Creek Hale line.. Let know if it looks like we're close.
