Mrs. Sue Overbay, granddaughter of Dr. Joe Clark, pointed out the location of the barn and cemetery to members of the Cemetery Survey Team of NE Tennessee in 2005. Eleven unmarked graves were found. In the Summer 2005 Craig Stewart, from Etowah, TN, placed two markers on the site of the cemetery, which have been moved to the fence line. The cemetery has been graded over for a road leading to a new Waterbrook subdivision being developed by Ray Jones. Fall 2006 update: The cemetery has not been paved over. It is located on the right just inside the stone gates to Waterford Estates. The markers that Craig Stewart bought are on the left side of the street and are not on any graves.
If anyone has information about the others buried in this cemetery, please send it to Betty Jane Hylton. bjhylton@comcast.net. Contributed to the Washington County, TNGen Web page by Dawn Peters, Chester Willis, Craig Stewart and Betty Jane Hylton. Additional information: This cemetery was not included in the Washington County Tennessee Tombstone Inscriptions by Charles M. Bennett and the Watauga Association of Genealogists, vol. III, but it is listed on page 324 in the Washington County Checklist done by the WPA in the 1930s:
