Morris Cemetery - 1B42 - Morristown, TN - Tennessee Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

Sign text: A few yards east is the family graveyard of the founders of Morristown. In 1787, Gideon, Daniel and Absalom Morris, formerly of the Watauga Settlement, received grants in this area, from which Gideon deeded the land on which the town was built.

Contrary to the TN State guidebook for these historical signs, the loction is SOUTH Cumberland Street (not north). The tour guide at the Crockett Tavern pointed out this error as we were discussing the fate of their 1B9 marker (stolen in 2003).
