Subject: [TN-CHESTNUTRIDGECOUSINS] William & Easter Wright Crenshaw

In the new �Cemetery Records of Lincoln County, Tennessee And Adjoining Counties� has both William & Easter buried in the Harkins cemetery. From a
family work sheet found in Ruth Morgan files at the Fayetteville public library made out by Billie Forrester did have Easter buried there in an unmarked grave.
I have a copy but it is packed away someplace. I do not recall seeing anything about William being buried there. Does anyone know where the Genealogical
Society got the information to put in the book? Did it come from those Ruth Morgan�s files?

Julia,
Margaret (Springer) Crenshaw died in 1881 and is buried in Waggoner-Buckeye Cemetery in Moore County. There are two fieldstones next to her grave on the downhill side. I have always thought that one of them is probably her husband, Paschel Crenshaw, died 1857.
The other one I thought might be their son, William T. Crenshaw who died in 1852. But, if he is in Harkins, then the other fieldstone might be their grandson, William Thomas, who died in 1868, not long after he came home from the Civil War.

Does anybody have any ideas about this?
