MOORE CEMETERY

            Moore Cemetery is an antebellum family cemetery which is still in use. It is located on the east side of Old Windy City Road in northwestern Madison County. On the opposite side of the road is Gregory Cemetery. Moore Cemetery is sown with a very coarse grass which sends out runners. It completely covers and hides some of the fallen markers. In addition to the markers recorded, there is one fieldstone-marked grave, one temporary marker plate with no information, and bases for two missing markers. David Donahue recorded Moore Cemetery in March 2004. An earlier record of the cemetery appears in Cemetery Records of Madison County, Tennessee, Volume II, The Northern Half of County, p. 139.
