I can tell by the names the approximate location of the Swallows family. The Buckners and Specks lived in the Dry Hollow area. The Hammocks, Sheltons, and Oakleys were hill people who lived in the same general area. All of these families lived about halfway between Livingston and Monterey. I know where there is one old cemetery that was supposed to have been the Swallows Cemetery. My grandfather told me two old Swallows women were supposed to be buried there. The site is on a road between Raven Cliff and Highland. There graves only have blank fieldstones on them. Old timers told me that two Swallows women took an ox cart up on Raven Cliff and removed the 4 dead Confederates after the fighting was over. The dead were stretched out on the floor of the Martin Luther French cabin. I have seen the stains in the floor where the four bodies rested until the next of kin came to claim them. Two of the dead were Hammocks. Jacob Shelton was in that fight. He escaped. One of the Hammocks is buried at the James Hammock Cemetery on the road above Liberty Church and Cemetery. The other Hammock is buried at the Austin Cemetery. Jake Shelton died around 1931 and was buried in the Carter Bilbrey Cemetery. The Buckners I know in Overton County are buried at the Buckner Cemetery near Livingston's Grocery on Highway 84. More of the Buckners settled in Montery and are buried there. Gary D.
