Of the five Greene County men who were executed as "bridge-burners" by the confederate authorites, in the autumn of 1861, the burial place of four of them is known.

Jacob Harmon and his son Henry Harmon, both hanged at Knoxville, are buried in the Harmon Family Cemetery at "Pottertown." A story has been passed down through the Harmon family, that they were first buried outside the cemetery fence, because the confederates considered them to be "traitors", and would not allow the family to bury them inside. The story continued, that the fence was later moved to enclose the two graves. It is not known if that is a true story, but it certainly could be, as confederate Colonel Leadbetter went to extreme limits at that time, to intimidate the pro-union population of East Tennessee, in the wake of the bridge-burning.

Christopher Alexander Haun is buried in the cemetery at Concord Baptist Church, near Mohawk. The Haun family were early settlers there. His widow, Elizabeth is buried at Mt. Hope Church cemetery, also near Mohawk. No marked grave for her was found, but official government pension records state that she was buried there. Their son Jacob Daniel Haun, who later became a union army soldier, is also buried at Mt. Hope.

James Madison Hinshaw is buried in the Long Family Cemetery, just off highway 66, between Bulls Gap, and Rogersville, Tennessee. His wife was Lorinda Walker, the daughter of Gabriel Walker, who lived in that part of Hawkins County. The widow of Jacob M. Hinshaw married again, but is buried beside him, under the name of Rinda Jenkins. Their son William, who died at age seven, is buried between them.

The burial place of Henry Fry is unknown at this time. Fry family records indicate that his widow Barbary (Wampler) Fry, is buried in the old Lutheran Cemetery at Blue Springs (Mosheim), in an unmarked grave. She is believed to be buried beside the marked grave of her father. It is very probable that Henry Fry may also be buried there, as that cemetery was not far from the place of his execution at Greeneville. One 1890s newspaper account mentions that Fry and Hinshaw were first buried in Greeneville, and later moved to the confederate cemetery in Knoxville. It seems unlikely that the confederate officials would have put themselves to that much trouble for the families of the two men who they considered to be traitors. Since Hinshaw is buried in Hawkins County, in a marked grave, which appears to be original to the period of his death, it is not likely that he was ever buried at another location.

When those facts are considered, I believe that it is very likely that Henry Fry is buried in the Old Blue Springs Lutheran Cemetery, where his widow Barbary (Wampler) Fry, was buried in 1899. The Wamplers were of german descent, and members of the Lutheran faith.
