Re: Headstone for Capt. John "Jack" Hinson

The death notice from 1874 Dover newspaper states he was buried at "Mr. Joel Boyd's on Bear Creek." There is only one Joel Boyd as a head of any household in the State of Tennessee from the 1850s through the 1880s. He was John Hinson's old neighbor from the Dover area that lived in the next valley north of Hinson's longtime former homeplace on Hickman Creek. Joel Boyd is buried in this cemetery and his grave is marked. The cemetery is not too big but has several unmarked graves so we will place it amongst those unmarked graves. So many times with older burials we only know that an individual is buried somewhere within a certain cemetery.
