Records of the John Mohlar (Moulder) family indicate that John Mohlar and his wife, Susanna (Susa) Swingle Mohlar were buried on the homeplace, he in 1810 as his headstone clearly states, and she at a later time, no record of her death, no head-stone with any identification has been found. A new marker has been installed.
Although many of the early records of Grainger County, TN prior to 1830 have been lost, the county in which this property was located until 1830 when Union County was being created, it is safe to assume that the John Mohlar farm and the farm of his son, Valentine Mohlar, passed to Jessee Alec Butcher through his wife Levina (Loving) Mohlar Butcher, daughter of Valentine Mohiar, grand-daughter of John Mohlar. It is through this inheritance that Jessee Alec Butcher was able, on 4th July 1883 to deed one acre of property for a cemetery. This deed is recorded in Union County Deed Book L, page 380, Maynardville, TN.
This cemetery, probably older than most in the area, is often confused with the cemetery, also called Butcher's, at Walker's Ford on Yaden property, that was partly removed for the Norris Dam project in the 1930's. The Jesse Alec Butcher Cemetery is near Pin-Hook, Old Effie Post Office, Crooked Creek, in short, at the junction of Butcher Hollow Road and Hickory Valley Road, high on an elevated tract that looks westward down Hickory Valley.
Contained in this one acre of cemetery, which is the older part, an additional acre was later added, are at least one hundred graves of slaves. Many of the slabs that marked their graves have been removed with improper care and there are at least that many unmarked graves of whites that have no idenity. I have made a list at the end of the register of known dead who are buried in Butcher's Cemetery without having a marker at their grave, perhaps someone knows of others and they can be added to this list.
With all the time and trouble that has been expended with this effort, I hope that it will be overlooked that this catalogue is not in alphabetical order. (WGT)
