Buried here, beginning ca. 1818, are the remains of numerous family members. Among them are Randal McGavock (1768-1843), planter and political leader who build Carnton; his son, Col. John McGavock (1815-1893), successful farmer and civic leader who was instrumental in disinterring the Confederate dead from the Franklin battlefield and reburying them adjacent to the cemetery; and John's wife, Carrrie Winder McGavock (1829 - 1905). This venerable Southern mother was called ?The Good Samaritan of Williamson County? for her many acts of loving service to Confederate soldiers.
