203    RIVES FAMILY

Location - on the south side of Old River Road (SR 1401), 0.1 mile west of Rosa Stokes Road (SR 1403).


Survey compiled by William "Bill" B. Kittrell in 2007.

It is reported that Susan Virginia Streeter, wife of Peyton Atkinson, had her husband and daughter Rebecca moved to the Streeter Cemetery in Greene County. There is no record that she had bodies moved other than a daughter and her husband, but there are several Atkinsons in the cemetery in Greene County. I believe she had others moved there also.
