Watts Cemetery is most likely named after Civil War Veteran, James Anderson
Watts [b.
July 4, 1846 - d. Jan. 16, 1916; #29a].
According to a survey performed by Joe W. Letterman in 1939, the name of
the cemetery was "Ramsey" and the property owner at that time was John
David Watts [s/o James Anderson Watts #40b, also
buried here]. Lottie's Creek was named after
Charlotta "Lottie" Briggs-Hensley [b. July 1817 - d.
1902] who lived in this area her entire life. Heading on Rt. 19W from Unicoi Co, Tennessee towards
Burnsville, NC, make a right onto Little Creek Road which crosses over the
Cane River -see map below. After passing a general store/gas
station on the left, make the first left onto Bald Mountain Road. Proceed
for about 2 miles on the winding 2-lane road which climbs in elevation
towards Little Bald Mountain. The road forks; make a right onto Lottie's
Creek Road [see map below]. Proceed for about 3/4 mile to Love
Ones Haven Road which takes you to the cemetery. This is an active
cemetery, well taken care of and ample parking.
A special thanks to Dwight Edwards for his research, collaboration
and contribution of info and photos for this site. He also is the
caretaker of both the Watts and the JC Wilson Cemetery which sits up on
the hill adjacent to Watts.
