Not sure which Mercer County Web Site you referred to as not including this cemetery. It is listed on my site as Jackson Greer Cemetery and is not on the maps yet but is listed as one we are looking for locations. That is at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Shores/Cemeteries.html It is listed on Teresa Davis's Web Site as Jackson Cemetery in Volume VI pages 15-18 That is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmercer I will send a copy of this to Teresa as she may want to change the i.d. to Jackson-Greer/Willits-Greer Nadine Holder On Thu, 25 April 2002, "George Carpenter" wrote > > It should also be noted that this pioneer cemetery is known as the > Willitt-Greer and Willett-Greer Cemetery depending on which plat book you > are using.

I tried your site below ( http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Shores/Cemeteries.html) and was not able to find it...Yahoo said the site doesn't exist.?

Nadine, Could you send me a list of the cemeteries you're looking for? We're going to Mercer Co. to do research...we may be able to help you locate them.

Can someone clarify the general location of this cemetery for me? I've looked on the map and found only Abingdon south of Galesburg in Knox County. Could you tell me which one of Kevin's maps it should be on when it is located?
