Born in Bertie Co. N. C. William Walton fought in the Rev.
for that state. He settled in the Cumberland country in 1784 and came to
Smith Co in 1786. William Walton served in the legislatures of N. C. and Tenn. and
as a Smith Co. magistrate. Land for Carthage and Geneva Academy Smith County’s first
school were given by him from his 3 806 acre land grant. He cleared farm land
operated a ferry and in 1801 opened the Walton Road from Carthage to Kingston, This
cemetery is located near where his old homestead once stood. Said to be one of the
first cemeteries opened in Smith Co. it contains the graves of a number of his family
and descendants, old pioneer associates and other early day citizens of Carthage and
vicinity. In 1978 the Caney Fork Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution restored
this long neglected cemetery. On July 22, 1979 a re‑dedication of this cemetery
