Marty Kittrell Visits the Freeland Cemetery

My family has a cemetery on an Indian mound in the area called Westside in Claiborne County.  It’s a few hundred yards from the columns of Windsor, the antebellum mansion that burned in 1894.  The graves in the cemetery date from about 1802 to I think the early 20th century, including Freelands, related family such as Daniels (Smith Daniels built Windsor and married a distant aunt of mine); there is one unknown buried there rumored to be Peter Bryan Bruin. The photos above were taken there, and more can be found at Marty’s site.  Below that post are more from Claiborne County, particularly Rocky Springs Church.

    I’ve visited that cemetery many times, NMC, in my rambles around Claiborne County. It’s a lovely spot.

    Kittells’s site is fabulous. I too have walked several times in that cemetary due to the fact that I was a member in a hunting camp located not a mile away for years and years. Ms. Razor and myself love to go to both Windsor Ruins, Shaifer House and Rocky Springs every year or two and get our heads on straight in the Spring of the year. Makes one take pause to view our own mortality. And wonder if we too would be the focus of of future generation’s “what if” questions.
