This sacred burial ground of 48 poles by 100 poles was donated by Major William Edmondson to the trustees of Kings’ Chapel, as mentioned in an 1843 deed between Robert and Thomas Edmondson and William King. Though the headstones are missing, those believed to be buried here include Major William Edmondson (1765-1832), Frances Boyd Edmondson, Anne Edmondson McNeill, C. Matilda Edmondson (1807-1871), Thisbe Edmondson (1785-1853), Rebecca Edmondson (1755-1831), Andrew N. Carothers (1819-1929), Elizabeth Dran (1776-1841), an infant daughter of E.H. Nails (1823), and Rebecca Nails (1826-1827). Only two readable stones survive, for Frances Floyd, born in 1840 and a granddaughter of Edmondson, and Robert Sharp (1772-1849). Circa 1780, at age 16, William Edmondson served as a private in the Revolutionary War and fought in the Battle of King’s Mountain. In 1787 he received 320 acres for his service in running the Continental Line for North Carolina. In 1791, as a major, he signed a petition to President Washington seeking aid against local Indian attacks. In 1794 he fought the Chickamauga Indians near present-day Chattanooga. In 1799 he was appointed to lay out and improve a road from the mouth of Arrington Creek to Franklin. As one of Williamson County’s earliest settlers and government officials, he served on the county’s first jury.
