Road and Old Well Road are on the original tract. An "Anderson Cemetery" is 
located on the southeast portion of this tract; now just the foundation of a 
Tennessee grave house remain. There are no visible headstones. James Anderson

James as Elizabeth Smoot. James was an older brother (or half brother)
of Matilda Anderson, wife of William Smoot. One child of James and
Elizabeth was named Daniel Smoot Anderson.]
