A visit to the Bynum - Williams Cemetery ...


We aren't confident of the location of the Bynum - Williams Cemetery, so consider the above location to be an estimate.<1>


Introduction ...

Since our focus is on geography, we don't have burial or interment information. Nor do we have any contact information for the Bynum - Williams Cemetery. For information of that nature, we suggest the Find-A-Grave <2> website: The Bynum - Williams Cemetery (FG ID #10033)

Note: We have organized the cemeteries in our Gazetteer based on a problem that we had while working on our own genealogy. Without specifying the cemeteries involved, we found an ancestor that we believed to have been buried in one cemetery was actually buried elsewhere.

We discovered that his burial had been refused at the last moment and the family had scrambled to make new arrangements. By looking at nearby cemeteries, the surrounding communities and in newspapers of the period, we were finally able to locate his burial site.

Should you find yourself in the same situation, we hope that our Gazetteer helps you discover your lost ancestor.

    Footnotes ...

    <1>An 'estimated' location is one where we have been given GPS coordinates, but are unable to verify the accuracy of those coordinates. That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location. A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace.
    <2>The Find-a-Grave website is an excellent research tool with information about a cemetery's location and interments. They also offer a forum for their members which can provide additional help. More information about Find-a-Grave can be found on their website: findagrave.com.
    <3>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- ) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point at the Bynum - Williams Cemetery. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 35.5677, Longitude: -87.1771       In this case, the coordinates for the Bynum - Williams Cemetery have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).

    <5>While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program.
    <6>The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required.
    <7>While we have an extensive database of cemeteries (with over 200,000 entries), you can be assured that it's not complete and our list will be missing cemeteries.
    <8>To help visualize the location of the cemetery, we've drawn a straight line between the communities of Mount Pleasant and Columbia. The cemetery can be found near that line and roughly halfway between the two communities. Remember that this is just an approximate location.
    <9>To help visualize the location of the cemetery, we've drawn a straight line between the communities of Williamsport and Mount Pleasant. The cemetery can be found near that line and roughly halfway between the two communities. Remember that this is just an approximate location.
