Copied from their tombstone in the McPheeters Bend Baptist Church near
Churchhill, TN:

Here lies the bodies of Samuel McPheeters (1783-1829). The first white
child born in McPheeters Bend and his wife, Lucretia Barrett (1786-1867)
and the bodies of Samuel McPheeters, Sr. (1740-1830) and his wife
Margaret Seawright, who came here in 1780 from Augusta Co. VA.

Samuel McPheeters, Sr. was the son of Wm McPheeters (died 1773) and his
wife Rebecca Thompson, Scotish immigrants from Northern Ireland, who
were in VA by 1745.  Many descendants of these sturdy pioneers are
scattered across the land.

Samuel, Sr. died with other members of the family in the "great scourge"
or cholera epidemic in the fall of 1880.  This monument is erected as a
memorial to Ada Smith, Great Granddaughter of Samuel McPheeters, Jr. and
her husband Dr. E. E. Kincheloe.  1955
