The thirty-five cemeteries involved in this reservoir were primarily found in Jackson and Marshall Counties, Alabama. Thirty-three of these occupied sites that were purchased by T.V.A. and therefore, were involved in the removal system. Only 250 graves were below pool level in fourteen cemeteries. Each of these 250 graves were researched and descendants were found to sign a release form to “remove” or “remain” for that grave.
