First Presbyterian Church Cemetery

Knoxville's oldest cemetery in the heart of the city.

Organized in 1792, First Presbyterian Church was Knoxville's first church. The first pastor was Rev. Samuel Carrick who helped form the Lebanon in the Forks Church. Carrick later served as president of The University of Tennessee, then known as Blount College.

The church and cemetery were used by both the confederate and later the union soldiers during the civil war.

The founder of Knoxville, James White, a pioneer and soldier in the American Revolution, is buried here along with William Blount. Blount was a governor, senator and a signer of the United States Constitution. Blount County and Blountville, TN are both named in his honor.

Blount's wife Mary Grainger Blount is also buried here. The city of Maryville and the county of Grainger were named for her.
