I have family buried in Blackwater cemetery and as no one had transcribed it..I decided to try. I am sure there are mistakes, if you find one, let me know and I will fix it.
The cemetery is a nice one with a great rock fence on one side. There are many stones with no markings. Many stones that are broken and many that have fell over or leaning badly. There are stones laying on the the stone wall. The cemetery needs a lot of care.
I tried to read the stones but there are some that I can not read.


My family surnames includes Sorency,Morelock, Briggs, Spor, Spangler, Giron, Iserbogel, Hyslip, Broyles, Dalton, Kelsey, Light, Whitson and Long they hail mostly from Laclede and Johnson Counties in Missouri and came thru Tenn and Ky to Missouri.

My husband's family names are Roark, Garrison, Enloe, Essex, Grey, Campbell, Tapp, Kindle, Howard, Close, Stevens, Mitchell and Childers or Childress. They hailed mostly from Cole and Camden Counties in Missouri

I am in the process of adding family photos to our grave sites. Please do not use my photos on other web sites. For your personal files is ok. Thank you.

Feel free to contact me concerning any of these names.
