SUMNER COUNTY, TN - CEMETERY RECORDS

Description

SUMNER COUNTY, TENNESSEE - CEMETERY RECORDS - W.P.A. Records - 84 pages - soft cover - full name index - reprinted 2018.
Sumner County, in middle Tennessee, was created in1786 and named for Jethro Sumner, an American Colonist who defended North Carolina against the British in1780.  These records are a combination of those pages of the W.P.A. materials sent to the State Archives when the project ended in 1940 and those pages not returned to the Archives but retained by the State Supervisor of the total project for further work.  In the 1980s, Mountain Press purchased those non-returned files from the estate of the State Supervisor and in that collection were a large number of these records found in this volume.  The total cemeteries cataloged by the W.P.A. was about 126 in all.  Most of these are small plots located on various farms around the county.  To our surprise, we find there are a large number of persons buried in this county who were born in the 18th century and many fought in the American Revolutionary War.

Example from this volume:
“Terrell Cemetery - In memory of Colonel Will Trigg & Mrs. Sarah Trigg - he departed this life Oct. 22, 1817 in the 75 year of his age - she departed this life Aug. 10, 1819 in the 76 year of her age.
In the memory of Mrs. Hannah E. Sanders, who departed this life June 10, 1837 age 21 years 2 months with a loving husband & infants two.  She spent some very happy years when fell disease with terrific hand removed her to the celestial land.”
