Abraham Louis DeMoss, Founder of Bellevue, Tennessee Grave Marking Ceremony


Along the trails of Tennessee today, in Bellevue, The Tennessee Sons of the American Revolution held a ceremony at the Old DeMoss Cemetery marking the grave of it's founder, Abraham Louis DeMoss. The TSAR Color Guard presented a three - volley musket salute, author/historian, Ridley Wills, gave a wonderful account of the DeMoss family and even held a Justice of the Peace book by Judge John Haywood - owned by Louis DeMoss, circa 1811. It was fitting salute to a solid patriot on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Bruce and I sang a song we wrote with Rep. Terri Lynn Weaver "Our Patriot Dream." We were honored to be a part. Bruce is playing his father's mandolin.
