Old Gilbert Cemetery
|
Location: Highway 11; left to Bethel Road, two miles west of Bethel, right into Hagan Road, on a hill enclosed by a chain link fence. This is one of the early cemeteries in the southern part of Giles County. There are many unmarked graves.
The burial sites listed below were taken from Cemetery Records of Giles County, Tennessee, published by the Giles County Historical Society, Pulaski, Tennessee, 1986. The gravestone markings below are exactly as they were printed in these records. The notes that appear in parentheses are from descendants of Caleb Gilbert who have done much research on the line.
To the best of our knowledge, it is correct. Should you see something you don't feel is correct, please feel free to contact me. Many thanks to "cousins" Judy Russell and Martha Easter without whom I couldn't have put this together, and of course to the Giles County Historical Society for the listing itself. If you're related to this line, please write...your cousins would love to hear from you!
