Olivet (Mt. Juliet) Baptist Church in Wilson County, Tennessee. (Others attending this church were William M. Moore and Sarah Moore). Mt Olivet Church was founded in 1801. Elijah moved to the community called Cedar Grove, four miles north of Lebanon, Tennessee, and there he helped found the old Cedar Grove Baptist Church in 1813, and was made the first preacher there, serving until 1841. Besides this he also did other pastoral and evangelistic work. He died in 1866, during the time of the Civil War, in the home of Foster Tucker and was buried at his expense in the old Tucker graveyard." I am looking for information regarding Mt Olivet Church founded in 1801 and the old Cedar Grove Baptist church that was founded in 1813 where he was the pastor. And I am looking for information regarding the Foster Tucker graveyard. ALL of my father’s ancestors lived between Mt. Juliet in Wilson County and New Middleton in Smith County. I am interested in this MOORE couple as William and Sarah are both family names in my MOORE line. However, you should know and research an area of West Wilson County along this same line (the old Trousdale Ferry Road) shown as 141 from Lebanon to Grant, as that is where you will find Tuckers Crossroad. I have a 1933 photo of a family reunion at the school there. John & Rhetta Waggoner with the Smith County Historical Society know almost every ancient burial spot in this part of Middle Tennessee. Contact them in Carthage or check with the Smith County Library and they may be able to point you in the right direction. Here’s a link to a Google map of Tucker’s Crossroad: HYPERLINK "http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=Tuckers +Crossroad,+Wilson+County+TN&ie=UTF8&ll=36.199958,-86.16148&spn=0.03283,0.08 6002&z=14&om=0"http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&tt ype=&q=Tuckers+Crossroad,+Wilson+County+TN&ie=UTF8&ll=36.199958,-86.16148&sp n=0.03283,0.086002&z=14&om=0 Karen Moore Waugh No virus found in this outgoing message.
