Davidson Cemetery
Also known as Union Ridge Cemetery
Union Ridge, Bedford County, Tennessee, USA
Davidson Cemetery at Union Ridge was lost for many years --totally overgrown, even up to the 1990s -- which may be why it doesn't show up on many maps. It was cleared in 2007, exposing the "Davidson Cemetery" section. There are other graves in the Union Ridge section, many without markers, surrounding the Davidson section.
Tombstones are scattered and broken, although many are readable. To find cemetery from Wartrace, TN, travel about 5 miles east on Knob Creek Road, turn right on Union Ridge Road, go about a mile, turn on Lazy Branch. Cemetery is about 600 feet on right.
Among those buried are John Davidson Sr, who enlisted for duty three separate times during the Revolutionary War. Hugh Davidson is also buried there. The father of Hugh and John was Maj. William Davidson. Their uncle was Gen. William Davidson, for whom Davidson County, TN, is named. Jane Vance Davidson's father, David Vance, fought in Revolutionary War and is the grandfather of former North Carolina governor Zebulon Vance.
