Where Are They Now?

A List of Cemeteries and Burials

 

I have compiled this list of burials from various sources. I have seen the burials in Limestone Co., in TX, Knox Co., TN, and in Noble,GA. The rest of the information cannot be vouched for as I have not personally seen the graves. I have other burial information which has not yet been included in this listing. I hope to update this file in the future. As with all the information on my WEB pages please take caution and beware of errors. It is always best to verify all data yourself when possible.

GEORGIA:

 

Walker Co., GA Cemeteries: From Walker County Cemeteries Vol.II

NOTE: The Cedar Grove church was moved and the Cedar Grove Cemetery was renamed "The Coulter Memorial Cemetery" after the Coulter family who are buried there. The cemetery was established in 1860 at Cassandra.

 

Coulter Cemetery, Cassandra, Walker Co., GA

John Porter Bayless is reported to have been buried here but I could find no stone and he is not included in the published cemetery listings. Several graves are unmarked or have been broken or have unreadable stones.

Chickamauga Cemetery, Section B: Located between West 6th and West 7th Streets at the First Baptist Church in Chicamauga, Catoosa Co., GA.

 

Bayless, Addie Ownby b.July 24, 1873 d.Feb. 11, 1948

Bayless, William H. b.July 19, 1868 d.Feb. 11, 1948

 

Chicamauga Cemetery, Section C:

Bayless, Herman D. b.Dec.1, 1935 d.July 7, 1988

 

Mount Olive No.1: Located 7 miles from Chatooga/Walker Co. Line, West of State Route 157 at Mt. Olive Methodist Church. Established 1887.

Bayless, Barbara R. b.July 21, 1871 d.Feb. 9, 1958

 NOTE: I would like to know who Barbara was. I have no information about her.

 

Center Point Cemetery: Located North of LaFayette at Noble, just East of Hwy 27. The old part joins Center Point Church grounds West of the church, between the church and the highway. These graves are close to the church on the west side. I, Barbara Ribling, have seen and recorded these graves.

 

Bayless, Malinda b.1859 d.1936 (dau. of Willis and Freshie Dunn)

Bayless, William H. b.1854 d.1933 This is a double stone.

Note: I have seen this stone, it is a nice, fairly recent, double marble stone.

 

Spear, Wilburn b.Dec.18, 1825 d.Nov.16, 1906

Spear, Amanda Wife of Wilburn Spear b.Feb.29, 1828 d.Sept.15, 1898

Note: I saw this columnar stone. Wilburn is on the north side and Amanda Bayless

Spear is on the other side. Wilburn is the "Uncle Webber Spear" with whom William

H. Bayless, son of R.B. Bayless, lived. I believe that Amanda was a sister of

John Porter Bayless. The name Bayless is not on the stone.

 

Nearby is the stone of A.G. Dunn July 26, 1845-July 7, 1914, and his wife Jennie Tyston April 30, 1848-April 1, 1921, "Thy Memory Shall Ever Be A Guiding Star To Heaven". I believe that they are related to Malinda Dunn Bayless, wife of Wm. H. Bayless.  

 

TENNESSEE:

 

Daniel Bayless Cemetery, Johnson City, Washington Co., TN

NOTE: I, Barbara Ribling, have not seen these graves. It has been pointed out to me that there is no marked grave for Johannah Lake in this cemetery or in any other known cemetery. The actual location of her grave is unknown to me.

Daniel Bayless II (b. 21 March 1716) is buried at the Daniel Bayless Cemetery, McKinley Rd., Johnson City, TN. The cemetery is near the Bayless home which is located at 2915 Chatham Ave. in the Carter Sells Addition. "Daniel Bayless II is buried in the old Cherokee Cemetery, the first grave north and close under a large cedar tree. The stone is still standing, but the inscription has been erased by the elements." The quote is from an unidentified book. Daniel II was the son of Daniel Bayless and Ruth Ludlum. His wife was Johannah Lake.

Cherokee Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, Washington Co., TN

NOTE: I, Barbara Ribling, have not seen these graves.

John Bayless (b.25 Nov.1746), father of Rev. Rees Bayless. John "is buried between Daniel II and Reece Bayless in the old Cherokee Cemetery." The quote is from the same unidentified book cited above. His grave is marked by a DAR marker. I now believe that this John Bayless is the father of Samuel Porter Bayless.

Mary Nodding (b.16 Jan.1874 d.10 Aug.1810), wife of Samuel Bayless, son of Daniel and Johannah Lake. Mary is buried at the Cherokee Creek Baptist Church Cemetery.

The Rev. Rees Bayless (b.22 Aug.1787 d.29 Oct.1864). Rees was a Baptist preacher for more than 50 years. His name is variously spelled Rees, Reese, Reece. He was the son of John Bayless, a church Elder, and the grandson of Rev. Daniel Bayless (d.1800). He, his father and grandfather are buried in the Cherokee Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, Washington Co., TN. He was pastor of the Cherokee Creek Church andother churches of the Holston Association in TN. From Sketches of Tennessee's Pioneer Baptist Preachers by J.J. Burnett, D.D.

Bayless Cemetery, Near Hall's Crossroads, Knox Co., TN, HWY 131 N Near Thomas Rd.

NOTE: Information on this cemetery was gathered by myself, Barbara Ribling. I have seen these graves. I believe that this is the cemetery that was visited by Ferol Frost Hubbs in the 1940s. At the time she visited, she saw the grave of Isaac Bayless. There is no longer a marker extant for Isaac. I am seeking further information about the family members in this cemetery.
