McFadden Cemetery

Located on Stones River Battlefield National Park, 
near the Battlefield Artillery Monument. This is on Van Cleve Lane, off US Hwy 41/70S.
This road leads to the McFadden Farm and McFaddens Ford across Stones River,
which was a scene of heavy fighting on Jan 2, 1863. 
There is a parking lot for the monument, and a pathway to the river.
Across the road, by a large tree, approx. 150 feet west of the monument, 
is a sign that says:

McFADDEN CEMETERY
Mid-1800s
Graves of :
Samuel McFadden, Samuel Clark
and two unknown

One marker is still upright, but unreadable.
There are several other stones down and scattered about the base of the tree.


After some research, I found that Samuel McFadden was born in 1794 in 
Chester County, South Carolina. He moved to Tennessee with his parents,
Guy and Jane McFadden around 1803. 
He died in April 1848 and was buried in the family cemetery.
It is unknown at this time how Samuel Houston Clark is related to the McFaddens.
Samuel's wife, Hollie, continued to live in the farm for many years. 
They had 14 children, so it is possible that Clark was one of the grandchildren, 
as he died at age 13 in 1851.
