Margie, Mt. Zion in Barbour is confusing - there are at least four (ones with ** denote cemeteries that are either Black, or have Black sections): (**)MOUNT ZION CHURCH CEMETERY T10N, R26E, S29 County Hwy 43, 1/2 north Of County Hwy 53 Intersection (**)MOUNT ZION CHURCH CEMETERY 32o01'21"N 085o13'00"W T12N, R28E, S15 County Hwy 89, 3/4 mile South Of Hawkinsville (**)MOUNT ZION CHURCH CEMETERY T10N, R24E, S20 County Hwy 9, 3 miles South Of Boot Hill MOUNT ZION CHURCH CEMETERY T9N, R24E, S13 State Hwy 51 1/2 mile SW of Baxter I looked through Marie Godfrey's cemetery book, but did not see the LEWIS names that Linda mentioned. Ms. Godfrey only has one Mt. Zion surveyed - listed as being in "Beat 8". I am not sure exactly where this is, but I do not see any LEWIS family members in the listing. There is also a LEWIS family cemetery in Bullock (used to be Barbour) on north side of County Hwy 14, .6 miles west of intersection of Hwy 51. I will post it in the next email. Sorry I could not be of more help. Maybe Bonnie or one of the other cemetery folks can tell if any of the other Mt. Zion cemeteries is the correct one. Terri -----Original Message----- From: M.
