The cemetery restoration committee, lead by Harry C. Knott, combined the research of several diverse sources and the actual grave markers at the cemetery to compile the following list. As a preface to the list, they write, "This list is a combination of recordings prepared by Eleanor and Charles Fenwick in 1958 (With Corrections), obituaries recorded in local newspapers and extracted by Margaret K. Fresco, existing tombstones inscriptions recorded during the 1988/1989 restoration and known burials revealed to the restoration committee by elderly citizens of the community." |
When I began my personal research into my Morgan line in Maryland in the early 1970's, the cemetery had fallen into disrepair, and about to be swallowed up by heavy undergrowth. It was only with great difficulty was I able to record the Morgan names from tombstones in various stages of decay. When I returned in the early 1990s, I found a park-like setting with a complete index of grave markers and locations. On behalf of all genealogical researchers who may find this list a source of information and inspiration, I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Knott and his committee for a job well done. |
