Final resting place of General Adrian Northcut(t)

aka my great-great-great-grandfather.

Born: October 13, 1779
Died: January 19, 1869

At the bottom it says "Will be fondly remembered" and maybe that was true at the time.

You can read more about him here: FamilySearch page on Gen. Adrian Northcut and it makes him seem like a pretty swell guy, except for the part where it mentions him owning slaves. A detail that I have in personal family archives: Adrian Northcutt, Warren County, TN., purchased 3 negroes, George (52), Sarah (his wife about 38 or 40) and their child, Tinley(?) for $550.00, Sept 11th 1845. The FamilySearch page mentions 5 slaves; I don't have information on the other two.

Finding this man's grave and reading up on him - and subsequently finding out that I'm directly descended from at least one person who owned other humans - was eye-opening for me. It's easy, when you're ignorant of your family's past, to make those vague claims of "well at least no one in my family ever owned slaves" and I may very well have done that in the past. Knowing the truth is painful and shameful but at least acknowledging it is the first step towards reconciliation.
