Ron, Is the cemetery where Old Mose buried, the one on the opposite side of the road as Harris Chapel Cemetery? If so I know where it is. This small cemetery was covered in weeds, trees and vines until the last couple years when someone cut down the trees from it and cleared it of nicely. But, I still haven't took the time to stop and look at who might be there. Bobbie Ron <[email protected]> wrote: I was recently in Overton County and decided to go to Moses Phillips grave. My grandfather took me there years ago. The graveyard is about a quarter of a mile north of Harris Chapel on the Livingston - Monterey road. There are about 20 graves there. Some have inscriptions. Others do not. The graveyard sits on top a hill in the middle of a large field. There is a tree at the top of the hill right by the graves. The three tented graves at the uppermost point of the graveyard (in the northeast corner) are Moses Phillips and his two wives. I no longer recall which was his. They are marked with field stones and stone tents, but no inscriptions. Moses Phillips came into southeastern Overton County in the 1820's. It would be a shame to loose track of his burial site.

Yes, that is the one. There is one tree at the top of the small hill and Moses and his wives are buried nearby.
