Background:Stophel Cemetery In Front of the Dam
Taken by S. Kathryn Bowling McKown
Located approximately ½ mile south of Blountville on State Route 126. The cemetery is clean and well cared for. Acuff Chapel was built between 1783 and 1786 on the land of Timothy Acuff, land given to him for his service in the Revolutionary War. (According to Acuff-Ecoff Family Archives Reasearcher Billie R. McNamara, Timothy Acuff purchased this land in Blountville. He never received a military land grant.) It is the oldest Methodist Church in Tennessee and was built by Timothy Acuff and Micajah Adams. The building was also used as a school.
