Hi Teresa - I'm not in Carroll County, but know my area is probably similar to Mississippi in dealing with cemeteries. The cemeteries aren't necessarily associated with churches, and marking the grave with a stone or marker of some sort required money to purchase it and some relative to remember and care enough to do it. If there were no survivors, or they lived far away, then...probably no stone. At least one of my Great Grandfathers was buried in an unmarked grave in Arkansas (he was from Carroll County, btw). We have many unmarked graves that we'll never know about. Fortunately some info can come from the memories of family, and some from the cemetery records or the newspaper records. If there's a cemetery inventory on the web site for Carroll county, or another part of Rootsweb.com, perhaps they have a place to indicate info about ancestors in unmarked graves. Does anyone know of any way to record the information about unmarked graves? I'm afraid I don't know. You've given me some inspiration for adding to the Rootsweb web site that I coordinate, so thanks for the question!
