The Old Mount Moriah Cemetery is located on a public road runing north fm the Carrollton courthouse to Liberty community, about 3 miles fm this road which crossed hwy 82 & about 1/2 mile north of the first house on the east side of the public road, the cemetery is aprox 100 yards fm the public road & is on the east side of the road ( info fm Pickens Cty Cemetery book. Now the Mt Moriah (McShane Area) is located near McShan area West of Reform. This is a bigger cemetery and has more graves.

Was there a Mt. Miriah Cemetery in Pickens Co. 1830-40's?

hank_a1 — 2012-05-10 22:01:24Z

Hi all,

Supposedly George Baldwin Alexander (1775-1835) & his wife Ann Jane McJunkin Alexander (1782-1846) lived their last years & died in Pickens Co., AL & are buried in "Mt. Miriah Cemetery."

But the only thing I find is Mount Moriah Church Cemetery, the old African-American place of worship which was established years after the deaths of G.B. & A.J., and they wouldn't have been buried there anyway.

Does anyone have any idea what cemetery they could be in that this reference is made to?

Thank so much for your time & attention.

Check the children's ages in 1910 and in 1920.

If there are 2 children with the same age then they could be twins.

1910 - children are not twins

Re: Pickens/Greene County HICKS

PhilipWHudson — 2011-12-11 19:37:30Z

Thanks for the cemetery advice. I have not had much success in finding ancestor's graves in Greene County, Alabama. I have many ancestors who lived there, including Hitt, Hicks, and Trussell. Many of my ancestors moved west into Mississippi. I know that David Hitt (b 1776), his wife Jane (Meeks), Asa Hicks and others died there. I have read some of their probates and some of their obituaries. But I cannot find their graves. They are not buried in Clinton that I can find. There is a Hicks Cemetery in Greene County (just a little north and east of Clinton), but I could never find a road to it even though it is on the map. David Hitt was the first resident of Pleasant Ridge in northern Greene County. I have found some relative's graves there but not direct ancestors.

I don't have any info on your Mary Greer Jones, but you rang a bell with all the similarities to my road block. I am looking for the parents of my Mary Greer who was married to Samuel Jackson. Mary was born in 1793 in South Carolina, but she was living in Pickens County, AL in 1840 with her husband and 6 children. By 1850, Mary was a widow and is shown living with a son in Attala, MS and later that same year, she was back in Pickens with a daughter. She was in Falls County, Texas in 1860 with a daughter and she died there in 1884 at the age of 90. Perhaps my Mary Greer is related to yours.

Margaret Wier who married Robert McCord was the daughter of James Wier and Mary Hamilton Wier; granddaughter of Thomas Wier Sr. and Elizabeth Faulkner Wier.
Margaret Wier McCord was a first cousin of James Wier, the father of Capt. R. Stewart Wier.
