The Ross Cemetery is private, family only.  It is in the Roddy community
(formerly Prestonville) Rhea Co, Tn., just off US Hwy 27, about 2 miles 
South of White's Creek, the line between Rhea and Roane County, TN.  
It adjoins the old Roddy school grounds and is just across Roddy Road, 
East, from Bethel Baptist Church.   

It is on the original grounds of the Jacob (Jack) Ross farm.  As of 
10-31-1997, it is bounded on two sides by the land belonging to W.B. 
Clack, on one side by the old school grounds, and on the other by 
Roddy Road, East.  It is fenced and well maintained by descendants.
