About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This gravestone for Philip Nance, who was the first person buried in Knox County, stands here alone. A stone was erected for him shortly after his death in 1829 and later the residents of Henderson raised money and erected an iron fence around the grave. In 1935, a memorial plague and surrounding fence was erected by the Henderson Women's Club with assistance by the Knox County Board of Supervisors.
