The following is the wording from the marker placed within the cemetery:

In Grateful Memory to the Defenders of Cavett’s Blockhouse

Upon this spot stood the house of Alexander Cavett, who was murdered together with two men and the Cavett family of twelve, September 25th 1793 after heroic resistance against a combined Creek and Cherokee force numbering one thousand warriors, thereby insuring failure of the intended attack upon the town of Knoxville.

Erected by the Tennessee Society of Sons of the Revolution
September 25, 1921
