Monroe County is in southeastern Tennessee was derived from the Cherokee Nation when the Hiwassee Land Purchase was accomplished in 1819. These tombstone records were taken by the W. P. A. workers as they went from grave yard to grave yard recording each of the stones present at that time. Since then more than 60+ years have expired and many more deaths have occurred since that time, but that would be another book. This is the records of over 85 different cemeteries from large public, church and family grave yards. The records show just what was on the stone with some additional information being made on some of the families and the cemeteries. MTTN-0974 |
