Sanders Family History by Alma E Harings
From Tracy City, take Hwy 56 north 1 7/10 mile. Turn left on Clouse Hill Road. Clock 7 miles to reach the bottom of the mountain & clock another 3/10 mile to reach the graves of Jordan Sanders (Son) and Solomon Sanders (Father) who was considered a contemporary in the Cove as well as one of it's earliest white settlers. (ca 1805)
The graves are
in a cow pasture. There is a gray moblie home beside the pasture and the
gate is by the road facing the moblie home. The graves are by the
large trees in the middle of the pasture and there is a sign under the
trees `Sanders
Cemetery`.

&

Authors Note: It
my opinion, the dates inscribed on Solomon Sanders Memorial (1730-1830)
were someones educated approximation as the exact dates
(1740-1837) were probably not known at the time the memorial was being
ordered. I welcome your comments and corrections on this and
would also appeciate any information regarding the identity of the
person or persons responsible for the Military Memorial Stone's
eventual placement. Alma

........Knowledge of these 2 graves (sic: Solomon & Jordan Sanders) were brought to my attention this past week when in Grundy Co TN......... It appears that there may have been other stones but they are no longer.
