Davenport Family Cemetery
Hickory Grove, Lawrence County, Alabama, USA
Mr. Hyatt also recorded that there were four graves located in this cemetery and were marked only with field stones. They are the graves of the family members of William Davenport born about 1796 who lived on Thompson Creek from the time period prior to 1830 until about 1854. His house was located up the hill about 200 yards east of Thompson Creek Bridge. The graves are across the creek southwest of the bridge near the bluff line. According to the historical notes made by Jack McDowell, one of the graves is that of a son who was killed by a falling tree and another is that of a daughter who committed suicide by hanging.
We are so thankful for people like Rayford & Mary Hyatt who spent numerous hours finding and recording these mountain cemeteries for future generations, without their hard work these cemeteries would be lost forever.
