    1. [OHMORGAN-L] McConnelsville Cemetery
    2. Some caution should be used with the data on the McConnelsville Cemetery found in Cemeteries of Morgan Township, Morgan County, Ohio from the Morgan County Genealogical Society. In a few cases either older tombstones have been replaced with newer ones or tombstones were erected long after the deaths. When I first read family tombstones there in the 1960s, there was a tombstone for Wilkes and Susanna Bozman. The style fit with the 1851 and 1852 death dates. However, when I returned to the cemetery in 2001 there was a new tombstone. This one had not only Wilkes Bozman and his second wife Susanna, but also his first wife with the given name "Ruth". His first wife's name was Mary and she died in Maryland. I also found definitely 20th century tombstone for John Hughes and his wife "Hester" giving his death date as 1840. That's two years after his will was probated. This leaves me questioning if the couple was actually buried there especially since they lived in Meigsville Twp. Barbara
