History Glossary

Cedar Grove Cemetery

Place

Confirmed as the historical Harrell Cove - the same ground the 1892 topo map labels by that name, sitting just over the hill from Blount Springs. James Elliott (1776-1839) is documented with an actual PLSS legal land description (Section 18, T13S, R2W), a real, checkable location rather than just a name and dates.

Related: Harrell Cove, the historical name for this same ground.

Notable graves:

  • James Elliott (22 Mar 1776 - 7 Feb 1839) - one of the oldest documented burials in the area, with an actual PLSS legal land description on record.
  • Jonas Bedford Byars (1790-unknown) and William George Byars (1826-1902).
  • Martha Jane Dowdy Ragsdale (1849-1954 as recorded) - a claimed 105-year lifespan, treated with real skepticism rather than repeated as fact.
