How Daniel
Haston's Grave Was Located
|
Dwight
Haston's grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. Taylor Casto Haston, took
Casto's father, John Taylor Haston, to the Big Fork Cemetery
many years ago for the funeral of one of John Taylor
Haston's Civil War buddies. John Taylor Haston took
Casto and his wife to the spot where Daniel Haston is
buried. Dwight's grandmother (Ida Grace Jordan Haston)
later showed Dwight the
location of the grave.
Source:
January 24, 1979 letter from Dave R. Haston (based on info
from Dwight Haston)
Note: John Taylor Haston (born April 25, 1844) was the
son of James Alfred Haston & grandson of Joseph Haston
& great grandson of Daniel Haston.
"Daniel
Haston died in 1826 and was buried in Big Fork Cemetery in
what is now Van Buren County, Tennessee. His grave was
unmarked until rather recently [probably written in
1980]. As a result of the inquiry conducted for this
history of the family, Elwood Haston caused a stone to be
placed at Daniel's grave and induced the D.A.R. to mount one
of their plaques thereon. We are sure of his grave
because John Taylor Haston had pointed out his grave and
that of Daniel's wife, and that of Joseph Haston an his wife
many years before to Casto Haston."

"There is one grave
outside the fence. It is the grave of Louis Douglas, a black
man who was lynched in 1923 or 1924. It was an ugly
incident. I did not include this grave in the 236 that I
showed on the plat. I am not sure exactly where it is; but
could probably find it if I searched." -Hoyte Cook
The
Grave Identification Process
The book Our
People by Dr. Margret Rhinehart (TN 976.89 Van Buren RHI)
includes a listing of many graves known/thought to be located in
the Big Fork Cemetery. Hoyte Cook's parents (Clifford &
Ruth Cook) assisted with the research for that project. The
names on the unidentified graves list (in that book, as well as
those that appear above that may not have been in Dr. Rinehart's
book) were compiled by deduction. These are people who were
known to have been associated with the Big Fork Church and/or
because of family connections would most likely be buried in the
Big Fork Cemetery. If you have questions about Big Fork
Cemetery graves or additional information to share, please contact
Hoyte
Cook.
