Nancy H. Morrow April 22, 1812-March 30, 1833. The first wife of Allen Watson Morrow. Thanks to the great great grandson of Nancy Houston Agness Potts Morrow we have solved another broken tombstone in the cemetery. Since the stone was so near James McKnight Morrow I assumed she was a daughter and at one time I thought her stone was Susannah Watson Morrow stone which is missing

SIX MILE CHURCH
Why According to Tradition, the Location of the Church And Cemetery was Changed. [In 1828 or 1835]
One thing suggests another. So, I have picked up some tradition as to the cause of moving the location of Six Mile Church
In olden times superstition was very prevalent among our ancestors, and has not yet died out; indeed we may truthfully assume that every human being as at least a streak of it in his physical structure, and it is not a violent presumption that brutes are afflicted by it in the same way
The aforesaid tradition comes through two generations and of that account in a degree respectable. It is said that after the church was burned some people were digging a grave in the cemetery and found a large nugget of gold ; about the size of the front joint of a man�s thumb. This circumstance was the cause of much speculation as to the propriety of any further burials in that cemetery. When this burial took place the nugget of gold was cast into the vault of the grave as uncanny. Whether this was done because of superstition or for the reason that it was impractical to decide the ownership of the gold, deponent saith not. At any rate it was decided to forego the practice of burying there and the location of the church and cemetery was changed
Was this the effect of superstition, or was it supposed that future mining operations might disturb the ashes of the dead? Let someone else decide; it is too hard a nut for me to crack
