I am looking for the grave of my 3rd great grandfather.Joseph V.West. He died in around Monroe County a town called Tarriffivlle. Last known date of him is in the 1890's.He married an Elizabeth Taylor in the 1890's also. He was in the 59th Tenn. Mounted Infantry of the civil war. Anyone that has any info on his last years or his grave please email me privately at mac6409@comcast.net Darlene McLemore Hammnd

I thought I'd post some resources, just in case you hadn't tried these:

The Monroe County Clerk has probate records back to 1825. You could look for his records in order to narrow a date down.

The Tennessee State Archives also has many records that might help you. See: http://www.tennessee.gov/tsla/Collections.htm

They have an excellent summary of what's available for Monroe County:

The Vonore Historical Society has many books for sale AND will search cemetery records as well. See:
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vhgs/vonhst5.htm

Note: I noticed you have posted a record at findagrave -- Is that his son?
