MARBERRY CEMETERIES OF HUMPHREYS COUNTY, TENNESSEE
TVA #30 (360411N 0875715W)
This is the family cemetery of John Monroe Marberry, Sr. (1823-1891) who married Hester Gould Morrisset on December 30, 1869 in Humphreys Co., TN. John M. Marberry and his brother Francis Marion Marberry (1836-abt. 1905) purchased the lands on the north-east corner of the Tennessee River and Trace Creek, overlooking Old Johnsonville. John and Francis divided these lands in 1875 with John taking the land east of the county road that ran north out of Old Johnsonville and Francis taking the lands west of the road and adjoining the Tennessee River.
There is also a Marberry family cemetery on the lands that Francis Marion Marberry owned (TVA #44). This cemetery has only one stone grave marker, there are a few small metal markers with a glass covering a paper, but none are legible. The sunken ground of the graves is the only way to see most of the graves. I have relied on the TVA record and have added notes on relationship and dates of those interred. This information was probably given to the TVA by Hester Gould Morrisset Marberry (1854 - 1938) and/or her daughter, Jennie Napier Marberry Nichols (1881 - 1957).
The Tennessee Valley Authority records for these cemeteries are listed in BOLD UNDERLINED ITALIC CAPITALS and my additions are in lower case.
JOHN MONROE MARBERRY, SR. CEMETERY (TVA CEMETERY # 30)
1. CLARK, MRS. HESTER, DIED 1938 - This is Hester Gould Morrisset who was born October 9, 1854 in Humphreys Co., TN and died July 15, 1938 in her home on these lands. She married 1.) John Monroe Marberry, Sr. in 1869. 2.) John J. Haygood in 1897. 3.) George Clark in 1928.
2. MARBERRY, JOHN, DIED 1920 - This is John Monroe Marberry, Sr. who was born June 12, 1823 in TN and died June 19, 1891 in Humphreys County, TN. He served in the Civil War in the 24th Battalion of Tennessee Sharpshooters under Capt. Maney. The TVA death date of 1920 is wrong, he died in 1891.
3. NICHOLS, LESLIE, DIED 1926 - Jennie Napier Marberry (1881-1957) and her husband James Walter Nichols (1875-1932) had a son named Troy Leslie Nichols who was born November 12, 1900 and died July 9, 1901 in Humphreys County and it would seem that this is that child. The TVA death date of 1926 must be in error.
4. NICHOLS, CARL, DIED 1928 - Jennie Marberry and James W. Nichols had a son named Carl Nichols who was born abt. 1906. He may have died as an infant.
5. NICHOLS, T. W., DIED 1932 - This is James Walter Nichols who married Jennie Napier Marberry. James W. Nichols was born December 5, 1875 in Humphreys County, TN and died January 1, 1932 in Humphreys County. The TVA record should read "Nichols, J. W., died 1932".
6. STEWART, OLLIE, DIED 1918 - Ollie Calvin Stewart was the son of Missie Pearl Marberry (1874-1949) and her husband Calvin Johnson Stewart (1867-1961). Ollie Calvin Stewart was born March 28, 1900 in Humphreys County, TN and died October 20, 1919 in Humphreys County.

He was the son of Archie Johnson Stewart (1893-1987) and his wife Hesta Earlie Winters (1897-1970). Leonard Rex Stewart was a grandchild of Missie P. Marberry and Calvin J. Stewart.
11. MARBERRY, BELL - Hester Belle Marberry was born August 13, 1872 in Humphreys County, TN and died June 21, 1876 in Humphreys County. Hester Belle Marberry was the daughter of John Monroe Marberry, Sr. and his wife Hester Gould Morrisset.
12. STEWART, CHILD - This is shown as two separate graves on the TVA plat. Calvin J. Stewart and his wife, Missie Pearl Marberry had a son, "Little Child Boy" Stewart who was born June 24, 1896 and died June 25, 1896 and another son, Charlie Ambros Stewart who was born September 10, 1897 and died October 15, 1902 in Humphreys County. These may be the children who are buried in these two graves.
13. CROWELL, WILLIAM, DIED 1920 - Mrs. E. T. Crowell was the owner of the the lands of Francis Marion Marberry in 1938 as shown on a TVA Land Acquisition map - he was probably a member of that family.
14. Nichols, Mary Sue - Mar 8, 1930 -- Apr 14, 1930. "Our loved one". This is the only stone marker in the cemetery and it does not appear on the Tennessee Valley Authority record.
