Mt. Moriah Cemetery
This cemetery is located a few miles southwest of Crockett on 21 past the Hagan Cemetery.
Please note that the comments column contains my personal observations and things I thought would be helpful. Also, I recorded every marker, which means, one person may be recorded twice if they had two markers (i.e. a military marker in addition to their family marker). If you have any questions after viewing the list, please e-mail me at
