• Notes

  In 1794 an Indian attack on William Crowson, his son Aaron, and Peter Percifield resulted in the death of Peter Percifield, the first burial in Crowson-Broyles Cemetery. Bill Crowson states that the attack was on Aaron and Peter, only; not his father. William moved from Wears Cove to Giles County, Tennessee. ---------- Reference: Bill Crowson, Florence, AL, Xplorer3@aol.com "Sevier County, Tennessee and Its Heritage", 1994, p 13, 181.
