Nearby are the graves of John Grissim, Thomas A. Grissim, and Wilson Hankins, who were killed by federal soldiers in September 1864
This is aa disgrace for the old Ferry. Mitchell Family had Ferry built in honor of their son that got killed in the service. At the time the ferry was donated to Smith County Tennessee there was an agreement in writing Between Mitchell Family and Smith County if Ferry was ever closed there would be a bridge built across Cumberland River. Wonder what happen
Ferry Boat is still abandoned on the shore on the rome side.
Does anybody have any information on what might be done with the ferry?
