BOBBITT CEMETERY
Madison County, Tennessee

            Bobbitt Cemetery is on the south side of Blair's 
Chapel Road. Most of the cemetery is between Blair's Chapel 
Road and a drive heading southeast into the woods; however 6-8 
burials and 2 readable markers lie about 40 yards south of the 
drive and any other marker in the cemetery. The cemetery gets 
occasional mowing. Kudzu has invaded the cemetery's northeast 
corner. Three temporary markers without information can be 
seen amid the kudzu. David Donahue recorded this cemetery 
November 14, 2003.

            Jonathan K. T. Smith recorded Bobbitt cemetery in 
1995. It appears in his Tombstone Inscriptions from Black 
Cemeteries in Madison County, Tennessee. There is a 2000 
update in Volume II.
