Dead Negro Hollow

Davey Cameron Brown

was a valley (hollow) in Rhea County, Tennessee, in the United States. It was renamed to Bonham Hallow on December 12, 2019.

According to legend, The Browns Hollow Manor and estate in what is now Columbia Tenn. was so named in the 1770s when a black laborer was found murdered there after he had learned the location of a gold mine.
