About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The original Blackwell Branch Baptist Church, organized in 1821, and its cemetery were located on the Holston River in Grainger County. When TVA surveyed the area prior to the damming of the Holston in 1941, the church and cemetery were found to be below the water level of the future Cherokee Lake. The church was then moved to higher ground, just two miles north of its original location, and a new church cemetery established. Most of the 169 graves in the original cemetery were relocated to New Blackwell Branch Baptist Church Cemetery, as it was called then, though now it is called simply New Blackwell Cemetery. Eight graves were removed to other cemeteries, while three graves were requested to remain undisturbed, and are now covered by the waters of Cherokee Lake.
