Benjamin Watkins Cemetery
Also known as Watkins Cemetery
Spring Hill, Maury County, Tennessee, USA
Watkins (Benjamin) Cemetery
The Benjamin Watkins family is buried here along with later folks by the surname Patterson, namely Joseph 1810-1836 and William 1832-1836. Benjamin's wife's name is Mary. She was born 1770 in "Albemarl" County Virginia.
If you zoom in on this map it is labeled the Wells Cemetery. The GPS Coordinates for the Wells Cemetery at this location are incorrect. This is the coordinates for the Watkins (Benjamin) Cemetery. That means the Wells (Thomas) Cemetery map is dislocated by the all the GPS companies today. This map labeled Wells Cemetery comes to us from the USGS mapping and is furthered by an effort by the large modern GPS mapping companies to place all the cemeteries in the country on locator maps. Each cemetery has a Longitude and Latitude also known as the GPS coordinates. This placement is in error. This spot on the map is actually the Benjamin Watkins Cemetery.
The Wells Cemetery lies on the area of this map, but due east 1/2 mile across both feeder branches to Rutherford Creek. It is not marked on this or any other maps I am aware of except for Fred Hawkins Map in the book Maury County Tennessee Cemeteries and now a Middle Tennessee Cemetery web site. Fred Hawkins' book documented the Wells Cemetery, but omitted the Watkins Cemetery. Same for researchers before him. All researchers say the Wells Cemetery is behind the barn of descendent John Wells on the back side of his place. There are no modern maps showing a barn in this highly developed area today. There are only houses and shopping malls. This was a very remote area prior to the 1980s.
The unchecked vegetive growth kept me from making an unmarked grave analysis.
