I am currently working with the family of James Monroe Brown who was born on 17 NOV 1848 in Hawkins, Tennessee, died on 2 MAY 1918 in Lee Valley, Hawkins, Tennessee and was also buried in Lee Valley, Tennessee. He was married to Nancy L Davis who was born 1849 and died 1888 in Hawkins, Tennessee. He was also marred to Martha Elizabeth Starnes who was born 16 Aug 1867 in Eidson, Hawkins, Tennessee, died 13 Feb 1946 in Lee Valley, Hawkins, Tenneessee and was also buried in Lee Valley. James is the son of Thomas E (born in 1822 and died 1900 -- born, raised, died and buried in Lee Valley, Tennessee) and Eliza (unknown maiden name -- born in 1827 and died 1870 in Tennesee). Martha Elizabeth is the daughter of Pleasant Henderson Starnes (born 29 Nov 1839 and died 7 Feb 1907 in Hawkins, Tennessee) and Mary Jane Starnes (maiden name -- born 30 Jul 1845 and died 25 Sep 1882 in Hawkins, Tennessee).

I am needing to know if there is a Brown Cemetery located in Lee Valley, Hawkins, Tennessee.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Brenda

Brenda,

There is a Brown's Mountain Cemetery east of Rogersville, TN. on Brown's Mt. Road. It is near Brown's Mt. Church. There are many Browns and Starnes buried there but none of the names you mentioned. There are several unmarked graves. Oh, and yes, there is a Brown's Mountain.

There is also a Brown Cemetery north of Rogersville, up near Sneadville. Your Thomas E. Brown 1822-1900 and wife Eliza 1821-1870 are buried there.

If you will email me privately I will see if I can scan the cemetery pages and send them to you.

Good luck with your research,
