One of the first tasks of the Watauga History Hunters was to
identify the burial sites of Revolutionary War Patriots in Watauga County. To
our best knowledge, no list has ever been produced like this for Watauga
County. We believe that these soldiers are buried in Watauga County. Do you
know of more? Drop us a line and let us know.

John Adams and his wife were moved from John Adams Cemetery to Mount Lawn in Boone. The family was concerned about the care of the Cemetery after they could no longer do it.
ReplyDeleteI believe my ancestors, William Whittington (buried at Adams Cemetery) were original settlers and revolutionary war patriots.
