The cemetery is in the White's creek area, where she purchased property in 1799-1803. The
Marshall cemetery, address below, contains the following gravestone: HUNTER The cemetery is at the top of a small
knoll, on property occupying the northeast corner of the Old Hickory Blvd - Lickton Pike intersection.

MARSHALL
CEMETERY / WHITES CREEK, TENNESSEE (From the
Davidson County Cemetery Survey with corrections by me) The Marshall
Family Cemetery is located on Old Hickory Boulevard. From Nashville take 1-24
toward St. Louis, get off at Old Hickory Boulevard exit # 40 and turn left. Follow
Old Hickory Boulevard about 3/4 mile to
house number 7343, the house will be on your right. It is an older
red brick house about 250' off the
main road with a large old barn on the left
side. The cemetery is left of the barn at the top of the hill. There are many graves
with no headstones, only rocks. We were told these were slaves. Not all of the stones
are readable. Phillip Marshall Hunter
restored the cemetery several years ago, and many of the stones were replaced.
It is being maintained now by his brother, John Hunter, from a trust fund established
by Phillip. • CANTRELL, Georgie,
