Article 781 Tombstone Inscriptions James Wright Long Family Cemetery
The James Wright Long Family Cemetery was established on the farm of James Wright Long, who had entered the land. When the county was first opened for settlement, or possibly before, several of his wife's first cousins also came to this part of McMinn County and all lived within a radius of a few miles of each other. Among them were Isham Reynolds and his sisters: Elisabeth Reynolds, who married William Maples; Alice Reynolds, who married David Cantrell; Anne Reynolds, who married James Chesnutt; Jane Reynolds, who married Raleigh Chesnutt. The James Wright Long Family Cemetery is owned by Misses Nan and Grace Chesnutt, Route 2, Englewood, Tennessee. It is on the Chesnutt dairy farm 7 miles Southeast of Athens just off the road leading from Athens to Etowah.
