The stone walls were boundaries of old farmsteads and keeping sheep and cows from wandering too far. Horses or oxen pulled the heavier stones from nearby fields on sleds. This wall is located on Wood Duck Island.
This is so interesting! I grew up on Norris Lake in Tazewell. I'm fascinated by what is underneath the lake. You have some great pictures! Do you know how to find out if relatives were relocated? I've heard my family members might have been, but don't know for sure. Just wondered if you had a way to find out. Thanks for sharing your research!

Also the is a cemetery in Norris called new loyston cemetery and although the majority of the graves are unmarked the owner has a plot map which give the unmarked names and location..my email is tloy1968@yahoo.com if anyone wants more info
Thank you for sharing this pictures. My great great grandparents' families, Gilberts and Meltons owned land around Andersonville/Loy's Cross Roads. I wonder if they are buried in the cemetery and if it could be their cabin that it sticking out of the water.
