ABRAHAM DECK CEMETERY: Located in Sullivan Co., TN on U. S. Highway 11-W between Zion Lutheran Church (now Rock Hill Baptist Church) and Immanuel Lutheran Church. It is on a hill about 100 yards above the north side of the highway. Only two graves were found, they were in a rectangle about 6 X 20 ft., surrounded by a concrete wall about 30" high. Copied by Charles M. Bennett, Oct. 14, 1960. Annotated by S. Kathryn Bowling McKown.
DECK, Abraham 1800 - 1862 (W= Margaret)
DECK, E. Minerva 1846- 1863 on same stone (F= Abraham Deck M= Margaret)
SKBM Note: (There
are three Deck Families on the 1850 Census of Sullivan Co., TN. Mary age 70
and she has living with her Lydia Booher age 26, Mary Booher age 6, Margaret
Booher age 4, and Henry Booher age 3.
Living next door is Abraham Deck age 50, Margaret age 40 (his wife) and then Mary age
30, Susan age 28, Ora age 26, Wm. age 22, Catherine age 20, Lousianah age 18, Sarah age
16, Martha age 13, Eliza age 7, George W. age 5, Elizabeth age 4, Martin age 2, and
Margaret age 1/12. Then Jacob age 17.
I do not believe all of these people are the children of Abraham Deck, some of the
older ones may be his brothers and sisters.
On the 1870 Census Abraham is no longer listed.
The other family is Simon Deck age 40 (b. in VA), Elizabeth age 38 (his wife), Mary age
14, Martha age 13, Nancy age 4, and Catharine age 63(b. in VA). Catharine is shown with
the last name of Smith on the 1870 census.

There were many unmarked graves and many with plain fieldstone markers.
DECK, Jacob b. 3-28-1770(or 79) d. Mar—18-9 (He is not on the 1850 census)
