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 very old cemetery is located on Rome Road near the early settlement of Bledsoeborough. The cemetery was in such poor unprotected condition that family members moved the older tombstones to the Alexander/Beasley Cemetery to preserve them.
Several above ground crypts have been destroyed.
"The Lost Town of Bledsoesborough, Tennessee" by Vernon Roddy.1984. Page 16 has the following:

"Behind the garden and across "Dry Creek" is the graveyard where lie Major William Cunningham (Revolutionary Aide-de-camp to General Washington) and his daughter Nancy. Near by are the graves of Colonel William Saunders, an officer in the Revolution and a member from North Carolina of the
Society of the Cincinnati, and Major Richard Alexander, an officer under Jackson in the war of 1812."
