OLD MARS HILL CEMETERY, LYNNVILLE (129) RD, MARSHALL COUNTY TENNESSEE

Fieldstones more fieldstones. To me this indicates one of three things. (1) These people were just poor or did not believe in marked graves or (2) Mars Hill Church Community was founded well before 1820 and many died before that or (3) maybe these were the slave graves who usually did not have marked graves. bue they appear to be among marked stones scattered through the cemetery. None of the records indicate the burial of slaves here.
