This afternoon, Jackie and Dawn Peters, Chester Willis and I met Mrs. Sue Overbay, granddaugther of Dr. Joe Clark. Dr. Clark built the big yellow house at 2362 Boones Creek Rd., JC (now the Grapevine Cottage) and owned the farm land surrounding the house. Mrs. Overbay remembers where the barn set and that there was a cemetery beside the barn. She pointed out the spot and we located 11 graves with dowsing rods. We have a call in to the developer, Mr. Roy Jones (423-794-6415) to inform him of the cemetery. Mrs. Overbay stated that the graves were marked with field stones and at one time there was a fence around them. This is part of the land grant to Joseph Crouch (1749-1830) for his Revolutionary War service. He was also sheriff of Washington County. This cemetery could contain graves of Crouch family members. Descendants should voice their concern to the developer. The bull dozers are at work on the hill now for a new housing development. Betty Jane Hylton Co-cordinator, Washington Co.
