The Eslick Branch Cemetery is a small cemetery located on top of a hill on the 3rd original property settled by the Eslick family in Lincoln County, Tennessee. This is the second of two Eslick family cemeteries established by the Eslick family. The Eslick Branch Cemetery suffers from horrific desecration by the property owners who bought the property in the 1990's +/-. The new owners built a house beside the cemetery and did not want the cemetery close to their house so the stones were removed with a sledge hammer and discarded and a garage was built over the cemetery. The Eslick Branch Cemetery is about 150 years old and sits on the hill above Eslick Branch which runs into Tucker's Creek and then empties into the Elk River. Countless Eslick family graves are now unmarked and are lost to time due to this vandalism. The current owners of the property are very respectful of the cemetery and have gone out of their way to care for the remnants of the cemetery. The descendants of the family appreciates the current owners more than they know.
