Cynthia was the daughter of Nathaniel Linder and Agnes Templeman/Linder. She was born in Tennessee. Very little is actually know about her life. She married Zadock Jarrett about 1840 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina.

They eventually moved to South Pittsburg, Marion County, Tennessee, where they settled. Several of the children had been born in South Carolina, my Great Grandmother, Martha Louise Jarrett being one of them. The rest of the children were born in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. They had a total of 12 children, 9 reached adulthood, 2 died as infants and one died at age 16. One of their sons, Zadock, Jr. was in Knoxville, Tennessee in a mental institution for 2 census records. It is suspected that he probably died there. His burial place is unknown. His mental condition and why he died is also unknown. Was unable to find a death certificate of any kind in Tennessee.

It is suspected that they were poor, as most of their graves are unmarked in any way. From records, we do know where they were buried (the cemetery), just do not know where within the cemetery.

Cynthia and her husband, Zadock Jarrett were my Great Great Grandparents. Cynthia and Zadock were Native American, making their daughter Martha, full Native American. My aunts told me that she was Indian. They were twelve to sixteen years old when she passed away, so they remember her well.

This cemetery is also known as McReynolds Cemetery as it is up behind the gym of the old McReynolds School. The school building is now gone and the city uses the gym as the City Barn. The cemetery is only open when the city workers are there and the gate is unlocked. The cemetery grounds are very unkept and grown up and the terrain is very steep and difficult to walk. Many of the markers have fallen over and been vandalized. The cemetery is in a sad condition.
