Introduction:
This cemetery is located in Land Lot 32 of the 12th district of Henry County, Stockbridge, 
Georgia.  I75S to Exit 228 (Hudson Bridge/Eagles Landing Pkwy.).  East to GA Hwy. 42/23, 
left (intersects with Eagles Landing Parkway).  Cemetery on left a short distance after 
Little Cotton Indian Creek, close to road, but difficult to view from road without actively 
looking.  Just after Parkland Drive, you will see a wooden privacy fence erected around 
the cemetery (it is a high privacy fence).  This is an inactive cemetery.

Presley Morris (son of Richard Morris) married Nancy E. (maiden lineage unknown).  Their son, 
John J. Morris was the 1st husband of  Mary Orlenza Crumbley (daughter of William H. Crumbley 
& Fannie Walker Crumbley).  The only child of John & Nancy buried in this cemetery is Bunis 
Demic (aka Dimmock).

Previous information on the Tuggle plot states: The Tuggles graves are within a rectangular
enclosure built of field stones, the wall being about 3 feet high. The ground within is covered, to 
a height exceeding the top of the wall, with a dense growth of weeds and briars. The individual
graves are not marked. Near the south end of the enclosure is an obelisk some 4 feet high.
The obelisk has fallen from its base, and is lying on the ground in a thicket. It is neatly
inscribed on all four sides.  

However, this compiler found that the obelisk is no longer here, and the Morris-Tuggle 
cemetery is surrounded by commercial structures.  The following is information on the 
Tuggle cemetery:
