It was deeded to the Methodist Church in 1829 by the Few Family.The cemetery contains several generations of the Few Family, as well as quite a number of people with names ending in Clarke, Vinyard, Baker, Erranton and Gunn.The oldest known monument indicates the date of death as 1801.

I need to locate an old cemetery in either Dickson or Humphreys County which may be known as the Hedges’ Cemetery.I am searching for the grave of George Washington Few and believe he may have been buried with his wife’s people in the Hedges’ Cemetery.

I’m attempting to locate the original location and size of a revolutionary war land grant given to the children of Captain James Few sometime in the late 1790′s. This grant was obtained by William Few (Uncle) who was the first U.S. Senator from Georgia and a signator of the U.S. Constitution as a delegate from Georgia.Possession of the land along Garner’s Creek ( south of Tennessee City ) was accomplished by 1805 I believe.Any information or pointers about how to obtain this information is greatly appreciated.

This cemetery is located in southern Dickson County o­n Turkey Creek of Piney River. It is o­n the original Burell Myatt farm, now owned by Garlland Weems. It may be known now as the Moore/Myatt Cemetery. Thanks to Charlotte Petty for the records from this cemetery.

Thomas Archer’s 640 acre land grant (NC land grant #2344), o?­n the west side of Yellow Creek, was surveyed July 24, 1791. Archer purchased the grant from Thomas Hays who had purchased it from Rev War private Daniel Haston. It was situated adjacent to land owned by William Davis and David Wilson. The land lay o?­n both sides of “the dry fork of Yellow Creek.” I would like to know the exact or approximate location of this land. Also, I would like to know more about any of these men named o?­n the survey.

John Armstrong Baker and his wife Jane moved to the southwest part of Dickson County in 1806 from Franklin County Georgia. The land had been purchased by John Baker in 1793. Benjamin Baker, his brother, and two cousins John Armstrong and Absalom Baker and their families were part of the group. They located next to John Tatum, a revolutionary war veteran. John Tatum was a farmer as were all his neighbors; however, John Tatum also ran a whiskey still.
