EPPS FAMILY GRAVES, Hughey Rd, LINCOLN COUNTY TENNESSEE
 

Discussion with Mr. Barnes, born abt 1945 on 7 May 2015 who lived across the road from the Epps Hollow but down the road east of there a few hundred yards on Hughey Rd. He said "My estimation of when his grandfather purchased the property would be about 1920-1930. He said they tore down an old home and moved it across the road years ago. It was located on the Epps Hollow side."

Arney was the family name of his grandfather who purchased the Epps property at the house he was discussing.
 

Mr Barnes mentioned the family that now owns the biggest part of Epps Hollow and that family lives far back up the hollow northeast of where we were standing. That is when he mentioned they removed an old home from there and it was rebuilt across the road somewhere.

We were not standing on the Epps Hollow place for this conversation, but on the property adjacent to that on the west (based on Google lot lines), but it is a part of the hollow which either becomes Epps Hollow or was at one time a part of Epps Hollow.
A black Family named Briggs (kin to the ones in Sulfur Springs Cemetery?) who was employed by Alabama A & M in Huntsville Alabama bought the place just west of the Epps or what may have been Epps Hollow years ago and the current owner bought the place from Briggs after that family moved away. The purchasing family currently lives in the home on the hill but she works away from the home and so does he and are not available for interview today.
Mr. Barnes lives in the second house on the right going east in front of what is marked as the Ramsey Cemetery on the hill top behind the house.

 

Mr. Barnes said he showed the fellow directly across the street from where we were standing where the (did not mention the cemetery name) McLean Cem was located in back of his house, but that there were no marked stones there now, but one can tell it is an old cemetery.

 

This map shows two checks where Mr. Barnes says there may be an old cemetery there somewhere but he was not conclusive, but maybe it is further up the hill. This is a map showing the complete hollow (Epps)

 

We were standing and talking at the above GPS while they worked on tractors.

 

Mr. Barnes lives here or maybe the home whereby one can only see the next driveway on the left up the road.

A home is seen here according to the Topo maps so that this may be the old Epps Home site.
The home that was moved stood at this GPS North 35.20919 West  -86.67071. It was still showing on the 1940 Topography maps but is gone today
