Located on Highway 411, just inside the Blount County line across from Sevier County. The side street is Burnett Station Rd. The small forts in the area during the late 1700s were often called "stations". This particular area was settled around 1784 and the cemetery was formed after the first death in the group. It was after that, that a Reverend organized a church next to the cemetery.

ReplyDeleteI believe that two of the unidentified graves are their mother Elizabeth Colville Black(burn) Newell ca 1797 and their step father Samuel Newell 1794. Their half sister Sarah Newell Vance and her husband Joseph Vance inherited the farm between the church and Newells Station.
