HI, I saw your email concerning cemeteries and thought I would add one that was discovered while doing research on the Mosley family. The legal description of the land owned by William Brantley Mosley in Middleburg, Fla was SW 1/4 of SW 1/2 of section 32, Township 4 South Range. Documented dated Nov 10, 1883 wherein Sheriff Whitt is requesting appraisement of property of Brantley Mosley. O.A. Budington is one of the appraisers involved and in Clay county wherein a new development was going in right in the heart of Middleburg, on the edge of a creek, the developer discovered the small cemetery of this person and his family and had it fenced in to preserve it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, February 06, 2001 9:14 PM Subject: [FLDUVAL] 1918 Death & Burial >Dear Barbara, > >According to the book "Grave Markers of Duval County 1808-1916" ( by Lucy >Ames Edwards) there were 51 cemeteries in the "Jacksonville"area in 1916. >Some of them were no longer in use even at that time.
