"Old Sumner, 1805-1861," by Tennessee's State Historian, Walter T. Durham; (published 1972); states that James Saunders' wife, Hannah Dyer Saunders, was buried here when she died in 1804. Durham does not specify whether "Dyer" was her middle or maiden name, or whether she had been married prior to her marriage to James Saunders/Sanders.
He lists as his source, "J.W.L. Matlock's, "History of the Methodist Church at Hendersonville, Tennessee," published 1960 by First Methodist Church, Hendersonville.
In Oct 2009, I found no sign of an extant marker for Hannah's grave or that of her husband, James. There is a marker for James next to his second wife, Mary (nee: Smith) Donelson, in the Smith Family Cemetery at Rock Castle.
