Prichard-Robertson Cemetery - Norene, Wilson County Tennessee

Norene is located on Hwy 266, 11 miles south of Lebanon.  Just south of
Hardison's General Store on 266, turn west on Norene Road and travel
approximately 1/2 mile.  Look to the left upon reaching the top of a hill
and see a white house with a porch across the front. This log house, now
covered by siding, was built by Benjamin Prichard. He married Polly Campbell
in 1816.  The cemetery is located several yards behind the house with stones
marked as follows. (There are also a few unmarked stones.)
Since 1999, the property has been owned by the Hardisons of the general
store.

Update [April 26, 2001]: The log house built by Benjamin Prichard burned 
in Oct 2000.  As of April 2001 the land is owned by  Barney Warren of the a
djoining property.  The store given in my directions is now the Norene General Store.
