In the early 1990’s while visiting Guthrie, Landon came upon the old Kimbrough Family Graveyard, now located on another’s property.
“I was really excited to find something my father’s family knew nothing about, but the task at hand was daunting: the gravestones were knocked over, covered with brush and rabbit warrens made walking hazardous.”
When I saw it, I worried about snakes, myself. I hate snakes.
Bob Kimbrough, Landon’s father and his cousin Ben Kimbrough of Clarksville, Tennessee, paid to have the site cleared and the tombstones replaced in their original positions as much as possible. We visited again a few years later and copied down the information about the tombstones and did our best to create a family tree for the people buried there, but that may not appear on the cemetery page. http://www.kimbroughgenealogy.com/kimbrough/cemetery/cemetery.html Feel free to email if you’d like what information we do have.

Susan, the current owner of the house and property said that someone had found a tombstone or two down by the creek years ago, but didn’t know where they belonged. I fear that vandals likely displaced or took additional tombstones. It is said that there may have been another older graveyard on the property, or it may have been a slave graveyard. Sadly, other tombstones might have solved some of our family mysteries. The earliest burial date here that can be read is 1830 and the latest 1903.
Wonderful work you are doing on this family cemetery. I don’t know of any connections we have there, but both husband and I have TN and NC roots. I stopped by to welcome you to the blogging world and GeneaBloggers, in particularly. Look forward to reading more from your family research!
Thank you for your kind comment!
