Excerpt from "Old Homes and Sites" (Franklin, Williamson Co, TN)
Cottonwood
"An old cemetery in the side yard contains the remnants of one tombstone. Although the name is broken and the dates faded, one line declares the stone to be in memory of the consort of Caleb Garrett, a prominent citizen in Franklin in the 1820s."

From newspaper, Tennessean:
Williamson County, Tennessee - Slow down at mile 3.7 and check out the historic home on the right called Cottonwood or Hamilton Place, but also known as Caleb's Consort. The home reportedly was built in 1800, making it one of the oldest in this area. It derives its latter name from one grave in a nearby graveyard that reads to the memory of the "consort of Caleb Garrett," a prominent citizen in the early 1800s.
