Notes about John (Jack) Sevier

There is a worn tombstone with the name John Sevier and one date, July 1? 1875, in the Saint John's Cem in Clay Co TN. It is located amongst tombstones known to be relocated from the McClusky and the McMillan cemeteries in Clay Co TN in the early 1940s before the Dale Hollow Lake impoundment. Some people have him as being buried in the Fitzgerald Cem Clay Co TN. I don't know where this information came from. He is not listed in the Clay Co TN cemetery book as being buried there. I have personally been to the Fitzgerald Cem in Celina and could not find a tombstone for him there. John (Jack) Sevier appears in some trees with the name of John Finley Sevier. According to the Sevier Family History book, John Finley Sevier was born 7 Sep 1794 and died about 1858 in Johnson Co TN. He married Polly W Brown and Susannah G Rector. He was the son of Joseph Sevier (17 Mar 1763-abt 1825 in Arkansas). He married Charity Cawood and Elizabeth Lowrey. This Joseph Sevier was the son of Governor/General John Sevier and Sarah Hawkins. Governor/General John Sevier was the son of Valentine Sevier and Joanna Goad. John (Jack) Sevier (14 Jul 1791-13 Jul 1875 in Clay Co TN) and John Finley Sevier (7 Sep 1794-abt 1858 in Johnson Co TN) were not the same person. Did John (Jack) Sevier also have the middle name of Finley?
