Big Spring Cemetery in Bledsoe County, TN

A small, overgrown cemetery near Pikeville where my GGG Grandparents Charles Hutcheson & Rebecca Skillman were buried in above-ground stone crypts. They were the first Hutchesons to move to Tennessee. Several dozen of their descendants, including several of their children, are buried in nearby Smyrna Cemetery, which is still active.

Big Spring Cemetery, Bledsoe County, Tennessee, USA

Notes: 26 Interments (1829-1937). Mostly Worthingtons, but also my great*4 grandparents, Charles Hutcheson II (1763-1829) and Rebecca Skillman (1767-1846), who were buried in side-by-side stone crypts.
FindAGrave identifies this as one of three cemeteries in the county called "Worthington Cemetery", but the cemetery sign says "Big Spring Cemetery. The cemetery, and the sign, are in the woods just east of a pond along Rocky Branch Road off Old State Hwy 28 a little over seven miles north of Pikeville. Big Spring itself may be at the north end of the pond. The cemetery is hidden in the woods, and, despite a reasonably new barbed wire fence (with no gate), it is not well maintained. It is overgrown with trees and vines, and very few gravestones are standing or legible. Charles and Rebecca Hutchesons' crypts are evident only as a well-defined pile of fieldstones.
