Guinns Cove Cemetery

Place

The largest, oldest, and most heavily-veteran cemetery documented in Blount County - fifteen marked veterans, several with actual ranks rather than a generic flag. This is the same ground George Powell‘s 1855 “History of Blount County” names as Guynn’s Cove, where the county’s first organized meetinghouse was built in 1817.

Related: Guynn’s Cove, the place this cemetery is named for.

Notable graves:

  • John David Reno (16 Apr 1746 - 1839) - 20 children, a formal 1777 renunciation of allegiance to George II.
  • John Livingston (1751 - 16 Nov 1826, Veteran).
  • Elijah McAnally Sr. (1767-1860).
  • Sgt. Efford Bentley (1759-1837).
