      Known also as  Morgan  Cemetery  or Benson & Morgan

      This cemetery is somewhat a mystery but perhaps of
      interest to researchers.

      The land was being improved by the Morgan family who
      were waiting for their land grant at which time
      Peter Morgan, the father, was killed .That was 1842.
      A few years later the James Benson Family received the
      land Patent and when they moved on the property there
      were at least 3 wooden Bois d'Arc stobs marking graves.
      They did not  know who was buried there but old timers
      pointed out that it was the Morgan family there.
      The location was near the Sash Community & South of the
      Bois d'Arc creek. That would be near hwy 100 south of 
      the creek and east of present Caddo National Grassland &
      Lake Crockett. A survey report and land transactions
      would solve the location.
