"Hixson Cemetery (OLD) /
This cemetery is located on the outskirts of Hixson, Tenn about twelve miles north of Chattanooga. The land for the cemetery was given by Ephriam Hixson who was buried there in 1855, his being the oldest marked grave. However there are unmarked graves, said to be those of Indians that are much older."

"Old Hixson Cemetery
Located in the Hixson area of Chattanooga. Take Hixson Pike to Thrasher Pike then to the Pine Ridge Subdivision (there are no subdivision signs but the entrance is almost across from Crabtree Road). Turn onto Lisa Lynn Dr., then left on to Old Hixson Cemetery Road. The cemetery is on the right between houses in the middle of this subdivision. It is small, fenced in, and the gates are locked. Surveyed by Susan Kendall in 2000."

The data i collected from the tombstones around the table tomb (below) are not in either of the two "Old Hixson Cemetery"s entries above, therefore i deduce that there are actually -3- Old Hixson cemeteries that should be recorded. Here's a map of the cemetery i visited and which appears to be unrecorded.
