In August 2013, my husband and I visited Putnam County, Tennessee. In addition to researching at the local library, Putnam County Court House, and Putnam County Archives, I was able to visit most of the cemeteries my Putnam County ancestors were buried in. Betty Stewart Stark, a 4th cousin on my Stewart line, met us and took us around to the cemeteries where our Stewart ancestors were buried in. In addition, Betty was able to show us exactly where the graves were located in the cemeteries.

Family burials in Stewart Cemetery:
Betty and I are standing next to the headstones for Harrison and Sarah (Brown) Stewart. Harrison and Sarah are my 3rd great-grandparents. The headstones are somewhat smaller that I imaged them.
Several of the cemeteries visited were in the Boma community.
