    Mystery Cemeteries & Lost Cemeteries
    Many of these cemeteries are along water courses, subject to flooding
    and losing their markers. Also many of them from periods of time 
    before many stone markers were used and the Bois d'arc markers 
    burned in grassfires.
    If you know where any of them are please let me know or info on the
    Families involved.

1....JACKSON FAMILY CEMETERY- 
    located on "Morgan Farm joining the Goss Farm" near the Red River 
    in NE Fannin county. Reportedly never marked and "This family buried
    their dead at night and did not mark the graves" (DRT & DAR records)
    I have read this account of them with lanterns at night also in old
    newspapers.

2....GRAVE YARD HILL- listed in (DAR records) Could this be the same 
     cemetery? no other lists found or location. 
     They recorded only these; J.C.Clark 1820-1875
                               W.N.D. wood slab no dates
                               other slabs of wood no inscription
     Another source says : "Owned by the Jackson family. 
     "Mr.& Mrs. Jackson are supposed to be buried there"

3.....REEVES CEMETERY- This cemetery is mentioned in DAR & DRT records 
      and by Floy Hodge. Destroyed now. Several graves were reported 
      unmarked only stone ever recorded was that of 
                    John Reeves 
                b. 17 June ?-d.1864 
      This was located on the Goss Farm extreme NE Fannin county.
      Does anyone know anything about him?

4....BARNES Family CEMETERY- remembered only as being on the Goss farm 
     also, no records or markers

5....Seeking location of the Oliver-Spoonamore Family Cemetery in the 
     NE quadrant of the county. Is is gone or just hard to find?
