a verse on her stone

My flesh shall slumber in the ground

Till Christ shall bid it rise

Then with these five dear babes around

I'll Meet him in the skies

One now liveth by my arm

While four lie at my feet;

We'll then with friends safe from all harm

In sweetest friendship meet

From this verse it seems she died in childbirth, There are

empty spaces at her feet with no stones, so possibly 4 infants

are buried there, dying at or shortly after birth.

(Negro) Willie, s/o Isham & Bettie Harris May 5, 1874 Mar. 5, 1882

There were other Negroes buried on the West side, but only the one

stone can be found.

In 1870 the southern county line from Humboldt west was fairly square. Cox's
Chapel was in the 16th District and Quincy was in the 4th district. 1872
Crockett County was formed, moving the county line north to the Forked Deer
River. The southern county line then went as the river goes. Cox's Chapel
and Quincy both became Crockett Co. There is still a dispute as to where the
county line actually is now and when you travel from Humboldt west on Hwy.,
152, you cross the disputed area which is south of the Forked Deer River.
Madison Co. gave up south of Gadsden, Dyer County gave up Friendship, Maury
City and Haywood from Bells to Johnson Grove area.
It was named  Crockett County for some lost Tennessean that told us where to
go and went to Texas. Seems like he fought for a losing cause in San Antonio.
