Fort Wear Cemetery - John Gilliland (no dates)
Margaret Gilliland died 1820
(From "The Reminescences and Autobiography of John Wilkinson"):
John and Margaret Gilliland were the parents of Samuel Wear's second wife.
John was killed by Indians about 1790 and was buried at Fort Wear
Cemetery. Margaret, his wife, moved to South Alabama. Many years later
she returned to East Tennessee to visit her daughter, Col. Wear's widow.
Within eight miles of her daughter's home, she became very ill and died.
One of her last wishes was to be buried beside her husband in the Wear
Cemetery. In the years since John Gilliland's death, there had been many
burials in the cemetery and no one was alive who could recall which grave
was his. Finally, Frank, the old slave who had accompanied the Wear
family into the wilderness, and who had helped construct the fort and
house, "bethought himself" of a large tree which stood near the John
Gilliland grave. Thus Margaret Gilliland was laid to rest beside her husband afte r a lapse of many years.
