FLY, John, ca.
1770. (Listed 1850
census as 80 yrs., b. in N. C., faith healer. It is thought this is the same
John Fly interred in the Fly Cemetery in Williamson County. That is just east of
Nolensville Tennessee)

Findagrave. This agrees with Fred Hawkins record in Maury County in that
Fred did not find the grave here in Fly Cemetery in Maury County.

the first death in Maury County that is inscribed on a tombstone. [F.L.H. 1987])

+ Thought to be buried here but no tombstone found by Fred L. Hawkins, 1986.
Mr. Fred Hawkins published this information in the book "Maury County
Tennessee Cemeteries". That book is available for sale on the Maury County
Tennessee Historical Society Web site.
This cemetery is well represented on Ancestry.com's Find-a-Grave. It has 21
tombstone photos, so I will not visit & photograph it unless it is real
convenient. Our presentations of cemeteries generally far exceeds the presentation of the
average Find-a-Grave posting, but the Fly Cemetery is the exception in that it
is better than our publication in most ways. I therefore refer you to that
site.
FINDAGRAVE - FLY CEMETERY
(http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GScid=12037) However,
there is at this time monument listings of burials that actually occurred in Fly
Cemetery in Williamson County. Those of Andrew & Thomas Layne. These same
listings are also shown on the Williamson County Fly Cemetery.
