Booth Marker at Smith Cemetery
A marker associated with the Guntown Booth legend is treated as an artifact of belief, not proof of burial. Exact access details stay private until status is clarified.
Artifacts, sources, and claims
Artifacts
The archive separates claims by reliability instead of flattening every story into proof. Public artifact cards name what can be discussed now and keep private or sealed material out of public maps.
Booth House Site
The reported two-story Booth house with the porch well and later fire is a location and document lead. The site is not mapped publicly.
Howard Snell Pocket Watch
Kerry reports a watch connected to the Union soldier story was donated to the Brice's Crossroads museum. Verification target: accession record, donor card, provenance note, or exhibit label.
Hamilton Rowan Webb Marker
A visibly repaired marker is a candidate artifact lead, but it is not confirmed as connected to the creek-remains story.
1953 Tishomingo Creek Remains
The creek-remains story is now a high-priority document lead. Public copy keeps the location general and waits for records.
Kerry's Missing Artifact Set
Musket balls, conical or grooved bullets, a belt buckle, a square hand-forged nail, and possible farm tackle remain private leads unless found, photographed, and documented.
Memphis-Library Fence-Line Map
The map lead matters because it may affect bridge and retreat geometry. It needs citation, image capture, and comparison before public claims harden.
Shelby / Bridge Interpretation Map
The later bridge interpretation is a comparison source, not a public accusation. The archive needs the map and interpretive context.
Aunt Nett Land Documents
Land papers, deeds, maps, and family documents should be received, scanned, and redacted before any public use.
This site presents local lore, family memory, field notes, and historical research in progress. It should not be read as an official historical finding or as the official position of the Town of Guntown, any cemetery, landowner, public agency, or battlefield organization.
