Morgan and Old Shiloh in the woods have been combined by the compiler. Elizabeth Booth did not record Old Shiloh in the woods. Old Shiloh and Morgan Cemetery are located in the northwest quadrant of the county off Farm Market Road 1510 at the dead end of County Road 33015 west of the road in the edge of the woods. This could also have been called Shiloh. From the records of Elizabeth Booth: 'Located on old Highway 82 West. There are white and blacks buried here but only two markers were visible in Feb. 1974. These were in a small fenced area to the west of most all the other graves. 'There were many [posted] graves... all unidentifiable.' The oldest grave is that of James W. Morgan who died 30 Sep 1864.
