For more on Ebbing Spring, try these sites. First one is on Jeff Weaver's New River Site (thanks Jeff), other is the Pres. Church site in Abingdon. You may find some help from someone at the Abingdon church. Ebbing Spring, I believe is the same as Glade Spring. Someone tell me if I'm wrong. I may have LINDSEY, BRECKENRIDGE ancestors in that early graveyard, so am also interested in what may come of your search.

I understand that some think that some of the earliest settlers were buried there. Does anyone have a list of those suspected to be buried there and is it true that the tombstones actually are or have disappeared in the swampy area of the cemetery?

I find listings for EBBING SPRINGS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, which may likely be also the location of the Cemetery of the same name, in Summers book, History of Southwest Virginia 1746-1786 Washington County 1777 -1870. On pages 138,139 the following give some description of the location in 1773. "A considerable number of people had settled in the immediate vicinity of Abingdon, and eastward to the head waters of the Holston, and in the beginning of this year two congregations of Presbyterians had organized in the county --one at Sinking Spring (now Abingdon) and another at Ebbing Spring, on the Middle Fork of the Holston river, near the James Byars farm; and in the month of April 1773, Samuel Edmiston was commissioned by the two congregations above mentioned to present a call to the Rev. Charles Cummings at the Reverend Presbytery of Hanover when sitting at the Tinkling Springs in Augusta county. This call ws reduced to writing and signed by the members of the Sinking Springs and Ebbing Spring congregations. It was presented to the Presbytery by Samuel Edmiston for the services of Mr. Cummings at Brown's meeting-house, in Augusta county, on June 2, 1773. The call with the signatures thereto is as follows: A call from the united congregations of Ebbing, and Sinking springs, on Holston's river, Fincastle County, to be presented to the Rev. Charles Cummings, minister of the gospel, at he Reverend Presbytery of Hanover when sitting at the Tinkling Spring: ".................................
