MAUK CEMETERY

 

Located just off the Bill Mauk Road in the first district of Washington County.

GPS location: 36. 09.70N 082.36.02W

The cemetery is about 1200 feet off 318 Bill Mauk Road on property now owned by Grace J. Mauk and Chester Broyles. There is a fence thorough the middle of the cemetery. Wm. J. Mauk, born in 1910, now deceased, told stories about the cemetery. He said when he was a boy, many people in this settlement, which has been known as Mauktown, were buried there. However his immediate family is buried at the Liberty Cemetery about three or four miles away.

 

From the sunken places on the site, there could possibly have been thirty or forty graves. There are several large limestone rocks scattered on the ground, but no inscriptions were found. The entire area was thickly covered by what is referred to as "grave vine." It is a ground cover that stays green all year.

 

In addition to the names listed below, there could be some Broyles settlers, ancestors of Chester Broyles, buried there.

 

MAUK, Abraham, son of Samuel and Polly Broyles Mauk.

MAUK, James, son of Samuel and Mary Broyles Mauk.

MAUK, Malinda Templin, wife of James Mauk.

MAUK, Nancy J. Broyles, wife of Samuel A. Mauk.

MEADOWS CEMETERY   Located across the street from 203 E. Market Street, Johnson City, TN. GPS Location: 36.15.06N 082.26.59W

Located on East Market Street near Broadway in the Keystone section of Johnson City. Only a few broken stones are still on the site. Two nearby gardens have rock edgings which look suspiciously like broken grave markers. Coped by Robert McGinnis and Loraine Bennett Rae, May 1976.

 

E.M. Meadows, March 12, 1823-Aug 13, 1903

O. (?) E. (?) Meadows, Nov. 1848-Dec 1872

 

WCCL: There are only 12 graves in this plot, and it evidently was abandoned soon after the Meadows family was buried here. This graveyard was started by Emanuel Meadows. His wife, Mrs. Pheelander Meadows is also buried here. His son, John and Mr. E. Meadows' second wife are also buried here. This family came from Virginia.

 

In her book on the Little family, Dessie Simmons says that John Little, son of John and Elizabeth Carr Little, 1806-1862 was buried here, on what was at one time Little property. She said there was only one stone there now, M.C. Collins. Robert and I did not find that stone. LBR.

MILLER (GEORGE W.) CEMETERY Located on Knob Creek Road, between Knob Creek Brethren Church and State of Franklin Road intersection, Johnson City, TN. GPS location: 36.20.32N 082.24.22W The land on which the Miller Cemetery is now located was a part of the George W. Miller farm. He had started this as the burial place for his descendants and his relatives. The cemetery was set up prior to the Civil War; and no doubt George W. Miller's first wife, Sarah Loudermilk Miller, who died c1858, was the first person to be buried there - grave unmarked. George W. Miller, his sister, Margaret Miller Little, his brother, James Madison Miller and their husband/wives, children and grand children make up the majority of those buried there. There is reason to believe George W. Miller's father, Henry, Sr. [died 20 Sep1863] and his brother, Lafayette Miller are also buried there in unmarked graves.

Tombstones have recently been cleaned and reset in this well kept cemetery .

MILLER (PETER) CEMETERY

Located on the farm, on a hill approximately 75 feet south of the railroad on Green Pond Rd., Jonesborough, TN. The field has been graded and no signs of a cemetery are left.

Information taken from Ancestral Sketches, by Le Roy Reeves, J.P. Bell Company, Lunchburg, Virginia, 1951.

Peter Miller (Mueller) married about 1773 to Elizabeth Bohun in Frederick (now Carroll) County, Maryland. When Peter Miller reached Washington County is not clear. In 1788, by deed which referred to the parties as farmers of Washington County, he purchased from John McMahan 200 acres of land in the Indian Ridge section. He probably lived on this land until he purchased in 1797 from James Ryan 258 acres of land "on the head spring of Nobb Creek," which we know to have been his final home. This lay about halfway between the present Johnson City and Jonesboro, and on both sides of the location of the present Southern Railway track and the Johnson City-Jonesboro highway which there run near each other.

Peter Miller died about 1824. He was buried on the farm, on a hill just south of the later constructed railroad, as were probably other of the family. A faithful slave, Digo the elder, who survived him, was at his own request buried at his feet. With his great-grandson, James P. McNeil, I visited the place about 1913. It was in an open space in the edge of a wood. A considerable number of gravestones were standing, all of rough limestone without inscription. No grave could be identified. Mr. McNeil then stated that soldiers had been buried there during the old war; of which army I do not remember. I visited the place again in 1947. Mr. McNeil had been gathered to his fathers, and I found it with difficulty. One single stone was standing and another was seen lying prone in the thick coating of dead leaves.
