Notes for James Napolean MYERS
James Napoleon MYERS, my ggg grandfather, a minister of the Holly Springs Primitive Baptist Church, now called Little Cove Baptist Church in Sevier CO., TN was m. to Margaret Caroline LINDSEY in the Little Cove area of Sevier Co., TN. Though they migrated ca1860 to Cocke Co., TN they return 10 yrs later back to Sevier where James was found on his son Andrew Jackson "Big Andy" MYERS land, lying at the creek dead of an apparent heart attack though it's still unclear.
It's also unclear who his parents were though I hope to find out someday, it is believed he was an orphan with a brother and sister born in Maryville, TN and 1st cousin to the MOYERS/BLACKBURN/WILLOUGHBY families of Jefferson Co., TN.
James and Margaret had 11 children and though many moved around the country, there are still many ancestor's living still in the Sevier and surrounding counties of TN, to this day.
What once was an "unmarked grave" is now marked. Margaret Caroline LINDSEY is buried in the HURST CHAPEL CEMETERY in Sevier Co., TN where her 3rd husband Evan HURST is buried and was minister.
