Located north off the Ashport Road east of Matthews Road on the farm belonging to Howlett Forsythe, son of W. O. Forsythe. It is located deep in a wooded area, surrounded by tended fields. The area is very overgrown and not easily located unless you know exactly where to go. It is quite distressing to see how bad the condition of the cemetery looked. What once was Hart property when the cemetery was established has not been in the Hart family for many years now.
Silas HART was the patriarch of the Hart family. His grave marker, which had fallen over when we first saw it in 2000, and is laying on the ground, has written under his name "ca. Dec 25, 1851." The marker is broken halfway down through the word "AGED." In cursive, just below the crack is written "about 54 years."
Martha Ann, who Silas married in Northampton Co, NC in 1831, and most of their children settled in District 10 of Madison Co, TN in the late 1840s. Martha Ann Markham, was Silas' widow, who married H. H. Markham years after Silas' death. Her marker shows a Holy Bible at the top. Her dates of birth and death are given, b: Feb 7,1815, d: Nov 18, 1896. Written across the bottom is "Heaven is my house."
Three of Silas and Martha Ann's children are buried in the cemetery.
