Lincoln County was formed from Indian lands in 1809. From the year 1799, with the formation of Williamson County, Tennessee, the most western third of what was to become Lincoln County in 1809, was then a part of Williamson County, and so until 1807 the eastern two thirds of the area was a part of Rutherford County. And from Dec. 3, 1807 until Nov. 14, 1809, Lincoln was the southern half of Bedford County. To the best of the author's knowledge, they have included all known cemeteries in these two counties; however, they realize they might have missed a few because many of the old family cemeteries have disappeared and many time during their searchs thay came across unmarked graves in unnamed cemeteries.
