Does anyone have any information related to this gravesite. I went to the area a couple of summers ago, but was unable to find anyone who could give me specific directions to the grave. I have census information on Abraham Waid back to the 1820 Lincoln County, Tennessee census. I am a descendent of Abraham's through his son Stokes Beeson Waid and Lettice Hays Waid (daughter of Reuben Hays and Tabitha Cornelius Hays). I have located Reuben's grave but not Tabitha's. Stokes and Lettice are buried at Hopewell Cemetery in Hanceville, Alabama. This is the information I have. It is from a document written in 1970 by Judge L. P. Waid of Oneonta, Blount County. The following is part of page 13 of the document with information related to the location of the grave. I am also trying to locate Abraham's burial site, hoping that will give me a clue to his first wife's name. One researcher believes that she was Amissa Cragg (Craig). Thank you for any assistance you can give me. Margaret Behel Page 13 WAID LINE On a little hill now enclosed in a pasture is an old grave marked by two stones that have obviously weathered many winters. Behind the head-stone is a cedar stump. The location is in Beat 28, or Thompson's Beat, in Blount County, Alabama, not far from Walnut Grove in Etowah County. About 1930 Luther Waid (my father) pointed out the grave to me as we were traveling the Murphree's Valley Road between Oneonta and Boaz. The cedar bush was alive then. He told me that it was supposed to be the grave of Hampton Waid, and that he was supposed to be related to us in some way. The grave is on what was long known as the Dorsett place, which was the adjoining farm to the farm on which my father grew up, and on which my grandfather built a house in 1891 that still stands. When I first saw the grave at close range about twenty years later, it was in a cornfield. The chiseling on the headstone could be made out clearly. It simply said "Wade, a Revolution Soldier 1776". In the summer of 1948, in the company of his grand-daughter, Peggy Byrd, I visited Reverend Abram Waid (1859-1949). His mind seemed to be clear and alert. He told me that he knew of the grave - that he understood it to be the grave of Hampton Waid - that Hampton Waid was from Virginia and fought in troops under George Washington's direct command that later he moved to Tennessee - that he had a son named Abraham who moved to Blount County about the time Alabama became a State - that Hampton followed his son to Alabama. Abram also told me that Abraham had four sons - Beeson, Elijah, Greenberry and Hampton. I don't think he told me the order of their birth. He said that he (Abram) was a son of Elijah.
