Moore Chapel Cemetery Needs Your Help

 

I am reaching out to SHARE an update about the restoration of the Moore Chapel Cemetery maintained by the descendants of John Henry and Inez Moore and to ASK for your help in contacting any unknown family members who may still be alive who are related to the loved ones buried in the cemetery.

We received a match grant from THC for some of the cost to survey and preserve the cemetery. The grant will locate unmarked graves and publish a booklet about the cemetery survey. The project will also install a sign about the history of the cemetery and the names of the loved ones buried in unmarked graves in the cemetery.  A small pavilion will be installed to mark the location of the former Moore Chapel building.

We have found 37 unmarked graves that will receive a flat round marker, 3 historic headstones will be repaired, and 6 historic temporary markers will be replaced this summer.

We also plan to host an annual Homecoming: Ancestor Day at the cemetery to honor our ancestors.

WE NEED YOUR HELP. Do you know any members still alive in the following family groups? We have identified numerous family names buried in the cemetery. We know some families and need help connecting with the other families.

The known families include: Boggs, Browning, Camp, Donloe, Dunn, Green, Harrell, Harris, Hayes, Hooper, Jennings, Moore, Menzies, and Murphy, Parsons, Rudd, Turner, Woods.

The families we need HELP connecting with include: Barnett, Gossett, Hart, McHaney, Matlock, North, Parker, Pervatt, Pettigrew, Shurley, Stanley, Tatum, Williams, Andrews, Frazier, Medlock, Metlock, Mosley, Patterson.  

If you know any people related to these families, please have them contact me by call or text - 731.415.2588.

Thank you!
