Try searching FAG and Freedom Cemetery. The names there include some of the ones you mentioned. Pat's family may be in Sidebottom, but all of Morgan county was transcribed by Bill and Dorothy Williams and without the three years of hard work they put into that project none of us, especially me, with 5 generations of family in Morgan would be able to find their family like I have. Everyday as I search in Missouri I thank people like Bill and Dorothy and also Dean King and his volunteers of Cole County who tried to restore as many whole graveyards in Cole as he could. Those of us who contribute to cemetery sites, FAG , Ancestry, Rootsweb, etc would have nothing except for these dedicated pioneer volunteers. Pat and I have those books from Bill and Dorothy and I also have books from Cole so if you give names we can help. Oh, and there are unmarked graves in every cemetery especially in the older cemeteries established before 1860. Poor folks used field stones because getting a carved stone was not easy. Tipton Missouri had one of the first stone Marker business's and it existed before 1894 because one of my great Uncles had his stone made there and my great grandmother took it on the train between Glensted Missouri and Sawyer, Kansas and had it placed on his grave. It's one of the nicest stones you could imagine and still looks new, but for many of my ancestors in Cole there are smaller hand carved sandstone monuments that are being lost to time and field stones that I have no idea who is buried there.

One more query of SIDEBOTTOM Cemetery: Did Pat Calton - who did the survey - indicate if there are very many UNMARKED graves (no marker) or used only Natural Stones to mark the grave? If so how many were estimated to exist unmarked ? The list is very good information, and really appreciate the news. I recognize several names. Again, my real interest is finding any family relations and ancestors of COOPER, ALLEE, SULLIVAN, SIDEBOTTOM including their wives, husbands, children. Especially if they existed in 1830's to 1899 years. To do that is a need of such transcriptions as was done by Pat. These are great projects for Senior High School students to learn about their history, and Morgan County parents should be encouraging their teens to learn about genealogy by doing such volunteer projects.
