John Hutcheson's obelisk gravestone in Smyrna Cemetery in Bledsoe Co, TN

He is my great*3 grandfather, and was the first of my Hutcheson line to be born in Tennessee, in 1800. This stone is shared with his wife, Nancy Samantha Billingsley, whose information is on the opposite side.

Smyrna Cemetery, Bledsoe County, Tennessee, USA

Notes: 217 Interments, including 54 relatives such as

My great, great grandparents Flavius Josephus (Joe) Hutcheson and Narcissa Ann (Cissie) Myers
Joe Hutcheson's parents (My great, great, great grandparents) John Hutcheson and Nancy Samantha Billingsley
Nancy Billingsley's parents (My great*4 grandparents) John Billingsley and Martha Blackwood

The cemetery is also known as the "Hutcheson Cemetery". It roughly 10 miles north of Pikeville, Tennessee, and about 3 miles as the crow files (but 12 miles by road) from the Cold Springs community, where many of my Hutcheson relatives lived.

I watched the 2017 full solar solstice in from this cemetery, which is on a hill in the middle of the Sequatchie Valley with views of the mountains of Central Tennessee.

Other Hutchesons and a lot of Kuykendalls are buried about 50 miles to the north in another Smyrna Cemetery, near Cookeville, TN. Cissy Myers' parents are buried about 50 miles to the west in a third Smyrna Cemetery, near Irving College, TN.
