Bledsoe County, Tennessee, Humble Cemetery 1980

The following graves were found in the Humble Cemetery: in 1980. While these names appear as Shoemate, a search of the census of Bledsoe County show the names being spelled as Shoemake. It is for this reason, I have injected these names here. I believe the record will show that this group of Shoemates came from Chesterfield and Darlington Counties, S.C. I have inserted this information in this area of my journal for the purpose of making it easier to find. (You may see pictures of some of the headsones situated on the graves of some of the Shoemates buried in the Humble Cemetery by clicking here)

>7. John W. Shoemate, B. 1878, D. 1957. (This is apparently the John Wesley who married Harrirt Mudge and not J.W. Shoemate who was born in 1850, who was the father of Annice Shoemate. J.W. Shoemate was the father of John W. There is a rumor that Annice's father first married a Harriet Mudge. However the census record of 1910 shows John W. living in Chattanooga, Tennessee and is married to Harriet and therefore, could not be the father of Annice).

(Hannah could have been the wife of Thomas Shomak living in Bledsoe County in 1830. It is noted that she had a son by the name of Thomas S.. It is possible that the S. stands for "Samuel" and if this be true, it is possible that Hannah's husband was the son of Samuel Jr. (II).
