August 5, Sunday



Courthouse.


Downtown.



On the courthouse square.



Murphy Chapel Cemetery is where Josiah Maples is buried.




Forks of the Little Pigeon Cemetery where the Forks of the Little Pigeon Primitive Baptist Church once stood.  Ruthea Maples and several of her descendants including Jesse Maples were members of this church.  The Church building was moved sometime ago, but the cemetery is still here. 

  


The flags in the cemetery park, with the Little Pigeon in the background.



Here you can see some of the grave markers in the cemetery.



The cemetery historical marker.  The green sign says Pigeon River.



Adler Branch Baptist Church is where Thomas Atchley is buried.


Did not find Thomas Atchley's marker, but did find many markers with Maples, Atchler, Lowe, McMahan.


Adler Branch Baptist Church and cemetery.


Maples markers above and below in this cemetery.

Downtown Sevierville in the mist.


French Broad River north of town.


It has rained from around 4 today, but it is cool and nice tonight.

Tomorrow we will go see if we can find Jesse Maples grave in Cleveland Tennessee.
