David, My wife and I trail ride from the Wrangler Camp there occasionally. I do not remember ever seeing a cemetery on the Bucksnort Trail. When I was a kid growing up around Yuma, we always called the Farmville Cemetery, Bucksnort Graveyard, don't know if that means anything or not. We are going up to the Wrangler Camp over the Fourth and riding Sunday afternoon and Monday, I'll get Miss Helen to agree to an exploratory ride from one end of the Bucksnort Trail to the other and see if we spot anything. There are two or three obvious old house places there. I'll let you know what we find. The only Morris Cemetery I have ever been aware of is the one you mentioned, between the Sand Hollow and the Yuma to Natchez Trace road Jerry David Donahue wrote: > http://www.tngenweb.org/records/henderson/cemeteries/morris2.htm > I visited the Morris Family Cemetery on Sandy Hollow Road today.

The soils map is drawn on a series of aerial photographs. The library in Lexingon has a copy. As I remember the location, if you are riding northwest, the cemetery would be on the right-hand/north side of the road and probably ouside/west of the park boundary. The Yuma quad (1950, 1988PR) shows a house on the left/south side of the road. If I could have guessed that house location, I would have like to have looked on the other side of the road. I think Mary V. Moore of Parsons calls Farmville Cemetery Bucksnort. She spent her girlhood in the area before her father was bought out. Her parents are buried at New Hope Cem. east of Yuma.
