East Hill Cemetery, also known as Maryland Hill, Round Hill, Rooster Hill, and Bristol City Cemetery, is a historic cemetery mainly located in Bristol, Tennessee; part of the cemetery extends across the state border into Bristol, Virginia. It is an American Civil War-era cemetery established in 1857, with sections for Confederate soldiers and veterans as well as a small section for African American burials. In 1995, the United Daughters of the Confederacy put up a small commemorative monument to the Civil War dead. Among its graves are the founders of the city, representatives of enslaved African-Americans, Civil War soldiers including those who died as a result of the war as well as those who survived the war, a Revolutionary War General of Militia Evan Shelby, and many who have made contributions to Bristol and the nation. It straddles the Tennessee–Virginia border. [3]
