Karen, Most of the people buried there were of the Dorsey family. However, their were a few Yeager/Yagers buried there. The Dorsey family moved the tombstones to the Moro Cemetery. Some of the Yeagers buried there have a stone in the Moro Cemetery too. Who are you looking for? Barbara Hitch Edwardsville, IL

Okay, all that helps. I'm looking for several Sweets. I know that Lafayette Sweet's wife's first husband John Moore was buried at Locust Grove in the summer of 1851. Because of the family connection and the location I wondered if that's why I'm not finding Silas Sweet, Mercy Sweet, or Maria Sweet. I suspect their graves must not have been marked and so far I haven't been able to find any death records or probate. Lafayette's wife was a Cooper and the Coopers are buried at Cooper-Sanner but their records are pretty good and no Sweets. I "think" the Sweets were always along the Macoupin/Madison County line in Moro so not real close to Locust Grove. I'm also looking for a William Smith who is my direct ancestor who married Eliza Sweet. She later married Obadiah Mize but I don't find her at Hand-Mize so William Smith and Eliza Mize are missing also. There might be a Mary Sweet Stewart with these folks also. I know it's a shot in the dark but I sure appreciate the info I've received so far. All of these would be in the 1850s and 1860s I think except Silas Sweet who was between 1845 and 1850.
