Findagrave (Sharon Rhodes) also has this couple posted in another Prosser Cemetery on top of Chestnut Ridge in Moore County
James Prosser:     http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GScid=17482&GRid=24593527&
Frances Prosser:   http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GScid=17482&GRid=24593511&

This is an error.  That post on "Find A Grave" in Moore County is inaccurate. James Prosser (born 1791) died Oct 22, 1854 Age 63 yrs. and his wife Frances Richardson Prosser died Oct. 2, 1858, Age 56 Years are not buried in the Prosser Cemetery on top of Chestnut Ridge in Moore County Tennessee
So what we have is the tombstones in the Prosser Cemetery in Marshall County and the listings poorly listed there. Also the listings are shown again but more complete and in the wrong cemetery in Moore County upon the Chestnut Ridge. The burials are actually located in the destroyed Prosser Cemetery in Bartlett Hollow. Incomprehensible! Did someone say findagrave.com is a mess. Yep! Stand up and call a spade a spade, but without Bobby Prosser's help no one would have gotten this right certainly not me.

This Prosser Cemetery we list here in Bartlett Hollow has been destroyed. It is located on Bartlett Hollow Road on the Billy Powell Farm. My (Bobby Prosser) (father and I found this cemetery back in the 1980's. The Cemetery was in a barn lot with cattle and other farm animals wondering about. It had been destroyed. We picked up James Prosser and Frances Richardson Prosser's tombstones. I brought the stones home with me and kept them in my shed for a time. They were lying in barnyard "Gook." and would have been lost  I did not want to lose any more of the family history. In recent years I have carried the stones to another well cared for Prosser Cemetery in Marshall County where their son Jonathan, my great grandfather, is buried.

Maybe eventually we can get Sharon's listings deleted or moved to the Prosser Cemetery in Marshall Co to accompany the tombstones, then someone go there and chalk the tombstones to make them readable and take a photograph. [CWA 20 Jan 2013.]
