• Notes

  Peggy, Having been instrumental in the saving and ongoing maintenance of a historic old cemetery in White Co., TN, I have learned a lot. First,there are no government monies for maintenance of private cemeteries in TN. There are laws that permit relatives and descendants to visit and maintain the cemeteries. There are also laws that empower local courts and law enforcement people to enforce the TN Cemetery and Burial Laws, but the results are quite inconsistent and usually reluctantly followed or flatly denied. Diplomacy, compromise, and sweat equity, however, have worked for us in White County rather thanlaw enforcement. The cemetery in White County, TN is the burial site of William BUTRAM,II, who is the ancestor of all the BERTRAM descendants in Fentress Co., TN and surrounding area. Here are some links to websites that should help you. The third onecan be downloaded in pdf format if you have free Adobe software. (Fromalmost any government website.) http://www.savinggraves-us.org/tn/index.htm http://www.tngenweb.org/law/cemetery-law.html http://www.davidsoncocemeterysurvey.com/Tennessee%20Cemetery.pdf#search=%22TN%20Cemetery%20laws%22 Good luck! Sincerely, Anna Bertram abertram@heartoftn.net Per family information she was sometimes called Jennie. Per death and other records on Ancestry.com, she was sometimes called "Jannie". In 1870, William and wife Rachael Reed Buttram lived in the household with a domestic servant, Jane Wallace, and Jane's 2 children, William (5) ane Mary (1). William and Rachael were both 66 years old, Next door was another Wallace family, a m man and wife both 19 years old, along with a 14 year old girl, clearly not their daughter. But her relation is not given. Could the male and young girl be the daughters of Jane Wallace? As was often the coustom, the child could have been sent to help her brother and wife around the time of the birth of a child. William Buttram (II), is listed as having been born in North Carolina with everyone else born in Tennessee.
