Hello, As I don't have my volumes at hand in which they tell of their sources, off the top of my head, some sources used for the cemetery books were census records, marriage records, obituaries, funeral home records, Thomas Barnes Papers, Blanche Bentley Papers, books by Warren countians, Bible records, microfilmed newspapers, Goodspeed's Histories, Acklen, Edithe Whitely, and various published family genealogies. You can rest assured that there is nothing in the books that there was not a source for it. As with any such endeavor, errors will be made and more enlightening information will be found, but at the time, they left nothing to chance. They would be grateful for any corrections or additions. Marla Goodrich, I would say that the Webb information came from Thomas G. Webb, 835 College Street, Smithville, TN 37166. He has just finished a Webb Genealogy which is already sold out and has researched him ancestors since he was a child. He definitely helped with Vol. #4. He can probably help you. In my files, I have as a source for some 1700 and 1800 Webbs, Kenneth Robertson, <[email protected]>. I believe that his information came from Thomas G. Webb. Patrisha Goodwin, off the top of my head, I know there is a burial in Vol. 4 in 1813 and another in 1999. Since the first book was published in 1993, the latest burial in that book could be possibly in 1993. I don't know the earliest burial in that book, nor the years covered in volumes #2 and #3. Martha Bouldin Holt and Almetia Dunn Cunningham can both be reached at WCGA, P.O. Box 411, McMinnville, TN 37111-0411.
