COTTON GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH CEMETERY
Madison County, Tennessee

            This cemetery is located at Cotton Grove Baptist 
Church at the intersection of Cotton Grove Road and Liberty 
Road. It is well maintained. As the cemetery clearly predates 
the 1840s when many West Tennessee churches were formed (see 
Anna Boon), it probably dates to the 1820s. Like most early- 
to mid-nineteenth century cemeteries still in use, fieldstones 
marking most early burials have been removed. Probably less 
than half of all burials are marked. Recorded by David Donahue 
October 7, 2001; update July 8, 2003.

            An earlier record of this cemetery appears in 
Madison County, Tennessee Cemetery Records, Volume II-North 
Half of the County, published by the Mid-West Tennessee 
Genealogical Society. This is referred to as MWTGS in notes 
below.
