I am seeking assistance in finding the gravesite of John Phillip Sharrett/Sharrits/Sharitz. He moved his family to Knox County c. 1819 to a farm hoe had bought on the West Fork of Flat Creek from Christian Foust. Before 1821 John died, and I assume he was burried there. His wife and children moved back to Sullivan County. His brothers Conrad Sharrett Jr. and Henry Sharrett (later Sherrod) also moved to Knox County about this same time. According to early maps I have looked at, this area may now be Grainger Co.
The brothers remained in Knox County.
